    Shame on the dad for videoing it and posting it to social media. I have no problem with the form of discipline but the dad is part of the cultural problem.

    I was abused by high school kids as early as elementary school. My dad was the high school football coach and a lot of those dickheads took a shot at me at one point or another. I dealt with it.

    No, I have my own opinion. Just thought I'd hear someone else's. That's what this place is for isn't it?

    I would say that f****** with would be more along the lines of friendly kidding/ribbing or a kid doing something stupid and everyone sharing a laugh at it.

    Bullying would be singling one out and relentlessly tormenting them and making them miserable.

    I just about threw up when I was told that drill instructors were not allowed to curse at recruits at basic training. I think it is the sign of the times. I certainly cannot put as much pressure on my son as I received from my father and I did not receive a lot of pressure by any means. Knob year at The Citadel was no pleasure cruise but there were definately upperclassmen that use that opportunity to release their frustration on knobs. To be clear there was pressure from instruction from upperclassmen then there were upperclassmen who were bullies. One made me a better person/cadet the others just confirmed my understanding of assholes.

    Having said that, one of my classmates hung himself from the steampipes his sophomore year. Go figure. MG

    Seems like the coping mechanism these days is to pick up your AR-15 and go to town.

    It’s a crying shame how our military has caved to all this BS too. Training a bunch of whiny ass pussies!! You got it when you were the newbie, and you gave it when you paid your dues. Ain’t like that anymore.

    Bullying is nothing new, nor is the effects it has on people changed much over the past generations to now. There is ample research supporting that. The difference is that social media has given an anonymous platform for it hence the increase in prevalence. I would be willing to bet many people on this forum were bullied and it had effect, there is quite a difference generationally on talking how it impacted the individual.

    I went to a private school with a small tightknit community where luckily it was not widespread, so I don't pretend to tell another that bullying did not grave psychological implications going forward when I didn't share the same experience. But I see it second hand often in clinic.

    I have two boys fixing to be 13 and 14. As some on here may have seen my youngest dwarfs the oldest in size. We've never had any issues with bullying as of yet but both of them know that its not something they will- 1) put up with toward each other and 2) put up with if they are seeing it happen to anyone else. My boys have their flaws and will be boys I know when given the chance but I have made it very clear to them that if at all possible don't go the fight option unless that's what it takes and they dang sure better take up for anyone they see getting bullied. A bully continues to be a bully because kids or adults continue to let them. I think there are just way to many kids\adults these days that aren't taught to stand up for wrong whether its against them or anyone else. Turning the other cheek doesn't mean turning away from the problem. It means solving the problem with as much couth as possible. I'm sure there are way to many kids that don't even know what couth means! And for crying out loud don't post every life event you have on social media. That opens up Pandora's Box for sure!

    In my opinion, the greatest lineman ever, during his Canton speech. Just watch from 1:40 to about 2:15. It's worth your 35 seconds...

    I will say that one thing that has changed since we were kids (those of us that are not kids now) are the ways kids are bullied. When we were kids, once you got off the bus, any bullying or trouble was over, at least until the next morning. With 100% 24 connectivity, it is never ending. They cant turn it off. Some of the things I have seen said about and to kids on social media will break your heart. Just like here, the air of anonymity brings out some of the worst comments. Something about sitting at a keyboard or on a phone keypad makes people think they can say anything.

    My kids dont have phones and wont have smartphones anytime soon. They are not "online" at all. My 6th grader said that he needs social media because your coolness is judged by your social media profile. I laughed and said I guess you wont be cool then.

    It really is unrelenting online. The only defense is avoid it and keep them from it.

    Good daddy. I told my son when he was about 12 or 13, "I'm not your friend, I'm your daddy. One day when you are older we will be friends, but right now my job is to be your daddy and I'm going to do my job". Too may parents want to be their kid's friend. It doesn't have much to do with bullying, but it has a lot to do with how they will turn out. And oh, I told my son, in front of one of his teachers, that if he didn't deal with the class bully screwing with him, he had better get used to it. From what I was told he sounded and looked like Bobby Boucher when that day came and he went off on the boy. I got the call, picked him up from school and we went and raced go carts at one of them fun park places. That particular problem at school went away that day and never came back.
