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.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
