As a teacher I can safely say that schools in my area go above and beyond their expectations when it comes to bullying. But there is only so much teachers can do when most of the bullying occurs outside of school hours.

Bullying has also changed a lot since I was in school. Now, lots of bullying is of course cyber bulling. Maybe more education into using social media safely and the consequences of publishing certain things to social media would be beneficial to bullies and victims, but who knows.

Yeah but kids as young as 8 - 13 years of age don't have that kind of resilience, well at least many don't.

True.

The worst case of cyber bullying i heard was a guy killing himself in some chat.

i think he was depressed or something and shared with ppl he was gonna kill himself and some ppl tried to help him, but most of them incited him to actually do it and he actually did it. :(

idk if that counts as cyber bullying but it definitely shows how desensitized ppl can be over the net.

That's awful. Yeah there are lots of very sad stories like that going around.

At the school where I work, most cases of cyberbullying are other kids posting something nasty on some social media site about someone else, or uploaded a rudely photoshopped picture of someone, or something like that.

I got some **** in middle school for being one of the very few white people there. I got jumped once and kids used to try and steal my backpack and **** until they realized I didn't have anything worth taking. Highschool, ugh. I went to a pretty elitist school that was really ****in hard to get into for visual art. I basically got the cold shoulder for being dirty and not having the nice/cool clothes and ****. The thing about bullying is you still encounter ****ty ass people in life later on as an adult, but when you're a kid going to school... you have to see those people every single weekday. As an adult, it's just petty to act like that and you don't generally have to deal with it all the time.
