Is Bullying Worse These Days?

Seriously, kids these days are so soft and sheltered that it worries me of the future. I was thinking "our parents weren't as bad as we were, so maybe it's just a generation by generation thing," but then I realized how sheltered kids will be because their parents will be able to monitor everything they do. 

Covid is a big cause of some of the shelteredness you speak of. No interaction for an extended period left too many without communication tools. I see a lot of young adults today withdrawn. But to answer your question, bullying is much easier because you get to do it behind the safety of your keyboard. Just like my previous post, I didn't have to worry about you punching me in the face, so I could say what I wanted. I doubt that will get any better.

Prime example would be FB. You don't even have to post something controversial and people get offended and attack you.
