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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
