The Bullying Issue

So lately it seems that there are more stories out there with the issue of bullying. 12 year olds committing suicide is unthinkable... Do you think outlets like social networks exacerbate the situation because they can reach a large number of people more quickly? Do you think kids are just as mean or meaner than they were.

Just want to know what ya'lls thoughts are

I think facebook has taken bullying to a different level... and I think a lot of adults overlook how hard "talk" is for teenagers. Image is everything at that age and the advent of digital media and social networks have made it easier for kids to tease/bully/intimidate in "non threatening" ways.

In a way, this is probably more rampant now since a lot of the at school bullying has been addressed. I'm honestly surprised that my kids haven't had more issues with it than they have. Of course, I've always told my boys that if somebody touches them to ask them to stop, get away and/or tell the teacher... if they touch them again, to punch them in the nose and I'll deal with it from there when they call me.

I was an anti bully during school. I started taking up for kids on the bus once I hit middle school and continued in the halls of high school. Some kids are just going to get bullied, there is not a true way to stop it but the ones of us that are parents need to teach our children to support and take up for their fellow classmates.

Same as it always was...

The only difference now is the social media. In my time you either hid or fought and most of time for me it was hiding until I had to confront one of my bullies, after I did that the bullying stopped...until I changed schools...:frown:

my daughter was bullied in 4th grade. It sucked. Now she's on facebook and even though (so far) there is no bullying, I can see how social networks make it worse. An asshole can broadcast to an entire audience at once, and it spreads from there.

How old are your kids biscuit???

How does one know to cut oneself when they're in 2nd grade?? that baffles me

11 and 15...

IDK, I'm with you... obviously these kids are seeing things that they should not... I suspect it's a combination of dumbass parents and too much access to TV/internet/movies...

My kids have strict rules about internet access and when and what they are allowed to watch on TV. We're not crazy strict parents, at least I'm not... my wife is a little overboard sometimes, but I'm talking about things like language on TV/movies... not subjects like sex and suicide.

I want to bully that kid after watching that.

Honestly more ass beatings should be administed in this world.

Stop taking it and bust someones jaw.

Great point Kurb... bullies thrive on cowardice. If you let them bully, they will continue until you stop them... I had a hard time learning this when I was growing up, but once I stood up for myself, it stopped.

social net does make it more prevelant but there is a total lack of character in kids.

im sure most of us were bullied at some point as a kid. there was not near the outcry of support that is there now as there was back then. you had to face it as best you can.

now everything is passive. you can bully from the comfort of your own home. we are so lazy now that we can do that and because we are just as lazy on having some form of toughness, someones words put some people into a downward spiral.

my oldest has almost been brainwashed at school on ANY form of conflict or disagreement is bullying. so i have to keep undoing what she was told to tell her that sometimes people dont see eye to eye and you have to negotiate thru it.

So tell me this. Apparently this kid had such low self esteem by the 2nd grade that he was cutting himself already. How does a 2nd grader know how to stand up for him/herself? And who is to say that the bullying started in school. It might have started with his own family. Some kids don't know how to stand up for themselves, or let alone feel they deserve to stand up for themselves especially after being bullied their whole life.

All I know is that I have a little girl in the first grade and she is a sweet, innocent girl who still believes in santa claus, the tooth fairy, and castles in the sky. If she were to get bullied like this kid did in the 1st grade she would not be busting someone's jaw either and I honestly think it would crush her. Sorry, I like my little girl the way she is and for now I have no problem being the one to protect her.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
