Yea Ive heard some say kids nowadays are soft in comparison to older generations. I dont think thats the case I think (like you said) the problem is nowadays there is no safety house where you can go to lay low. Whereever you are now its seem like you're susceptible to bullying. Me personally when I was a kid bullying/hazing was just something you did (it was kinda like a rites of passage). Ive never been bullied though (hazed yes). If someone ever messed with my kid I would talk to the principal. If that didnt work Id find another school for my kid or I would have talks with my kid to let them know nothings wrong with them and that there peers are just douches and cunts, just ignore them. And if it ever just got to the point where my kid contemplated suicide. You might see a video of me on Youtube like that dad.
Nope, with Facebook, texting, emailing, and other websites that bullies can go and spread their hate against your child, there absolutely IS no place for your child to go to feel safe nowadays.
My daughter told me a story about a girl who came up to her in her after school program who told her to move out of her seat because this girl wanted to sit where my daughter was sitting. My daughter refused to move (yay her!!). I told my daughter that she needs to stand up to those types of children because they will eventually learn that they can't push her around and that they'll leave her alone because of it.
I only hope that's the case, but I can't believe at age 8 she already has to deal with stuff. I only hope she continues to remain open with me about her experiences at school.
