Obviously there is an agenda to keep when it comes to the media.

I think that school has changed alot over the last decade. Kids these days can be brutal little bullies. They are very arrogant and rebellious.

I'm just saying, in my days if I got picked on, it would play out differently. It was much more singular. If I got picked on by a bully, I would respond by punching him in the face, have a quick fight in the yard, two or three punches, and that was it. It didn't matter who won but the energy would be released and I will probably make a new friend.
There was no little bully gangs. There was no social media either so there was not that perpetual bullying online. With the fact that an aggressor does not have to see the victim in the face and can hurt by just randomly posting online, makes it even more brutal and instantly widespread.
It is just not like before. The playing field for social pricks is different.
