The "problem" is not getting worse, the hand wringing is.

high school ended 28 years ago for me, the last thing I need to do is worry over anything that happened then.

We need to teach our kids to stand up and be adults instead of letting them see us shriveled up in a ball whining over something that happened decades ago.

I agree 100%!! That was then, this is now. Get over it!

Who WASN”T picked on, teased, whatever in school. Kids can be vicious. It’s a fact of life. PARENTS are called upon to correct it, but then, not now! I am sick of hearing about this.

If someone is being beat up, or anything physical, not just a prank or teasing, then that is beyond bullying, that is assault and the schools need to step in. But even then, it was in school! Once you are an adult, you are expected to understand the fact that kids are stupid and do stupid things. GET OVER IT! What kind of pathetic life must an adult live to wallow in self pity over things that happen in a school?

Finally just saw your #2 reply....and by now, you see I totally agree with you. Of course, I’m being gutted on this thread for stating it in a different way (your focus on how to deal with it later; mine on how to deal with it when encountering it).

God bless.

I was small for my age and very quiet, I got bullied exactly twice in first grade, I beat them both up, one girl and one boy. I got my reputation made in that first year and no one ever tried it again.
