Part of the problem is teachers and other school employees have their hands tied. We've PC'd ourselves into a corner. Gone are the days kids respected or at least feared the principal.
Another problem is very few teach their kids to be decent people anymore. Again, we've PC'd ourselves into a corner.
Finally, nobody teaches their kid to stand up for themselves anymore. It used to be if someone bullied you, a bloodied nose fixed that problem fast. Now, if a kid defends themself, they'll be the one in trouble.
Oh and yes, I dealt with bullies as a kid too. Dealt with, not cried or killed myself, dealt with.
I miss the days when you could bring a game home and play, no updates to wait for. Now, get off my lawn.
