I worry about it! I just hope we can raise our kids to be confident and strong. Not just for dealing with bullying but just for character development. I don't know if bullying is worse now or whether it's just getting more media attention. But I'm glad it has become a focal point and that people are more aware of it.

I worry about it to. Nowadays with the internet, I feel like it's much more severe than it was when I was a kid. I also feel like kids are just nastier now too. They haven't been taught that being mean to someone isn't right because a lot of parents have stopped trying to parent and are trying to be "BFFs".

I won't be afraid to step in either. My 13 year old neice was being bullied by a girl at school. The girl was trying to hack into her internet accounts, she was bullying her at school. My brother finally went over to the girls house and sat there and waited for the girls dad to get him. He laid it out for him and told him that if he didn't control his daughter and put an end to this, my brother was going to the police to file harassment charges.

I think if I found out C was bullying someone... I'd blister her butt and then march her over to the kids house to apologize to both the kid and the kid's parents. It will 100% not fly in my house.

i think it's more insidious now and even easier to do with the internet. i really don't know what i'd do. i wanted to switch schools at one point because it was so bad for me. what would i have done if the same thing happened to my lo?
