I struggle at times because I feel like kids in general need to learn to deal with (ignore) people who are "mean", but at the same time being attacked relentlessly day in and day out 24/7 can mentally break even the toughest of people. Not sure what the answer is, but the idea of confronting your bully like back in the day is tough now when it can be an anonymous person online tormenting you.
I agree bullying these days is a bit different. The cyber stuff if just straight up stalking now. This is precisely the reason we keep social media to a minimum and what we do allow is monitored.
As far as it being mental..... it's always been a mental game. Most bullies do not want a fight or anything physical, they just move on to the next child who won't stand up for themselves.
