Some stats from Internet. There are lots of stats. They don't agree on everything.
"Social media use: What parents say, what kids say
The American Family Survey 2023 found that social media use among kids ages 10 through 18 is nearly universal — 96% of parents say their kids have access to at least one social media platform.
66% of parents say their children use Instagram.
63% say TikTok.
61% say YouTube.
57% say Facebook.
51% say Snapchat.
31% say Twitter (now known as X).
16% say Pinterest.
4% say BeReal.
3% say they don’t know which social media platforms their children use.
Conversely, U.S. teens ages 13 through 17 surveyed by the Pew Research Center report much lower rates of Facebook use and much higher rates of BeReal use.
59% say they use Instagram.
63% say they use TikTok.
93% say they use YouTube.
33% say they use Facebook.
60% say they use Snapchat.
20% say they use Twitter (now known as X).
13% say they use BeReal."
"The average age when children get their first phone is 10.3 years old.
Social media is also popular with kids, with 11 percent getting their first account when they were younger than 10 while 39 percent did so between the ages of 10 and 12.
Facebook and Instagram are most popular, each used by 77 percent of kids. Twitter is embraced by 49 percent of kids and Snapchat by 47 percent.
One popular activity for kids on phones is texting, with 31 percent of parents saying that their kids have texted them even when they are in the same home together."

And bullying is worse today than ever. Thanks for ignoring what history has to teach. Just because it's more dangerous for kids today doesn't mean the solution is surrender. Ill teach my grandkids how to defend themselves and maybe they will save your kid someday. I live in the world as it is, not the utopia you want that will never be.

Reading is a fundamental skill and you just proved you don’t have that. No where in my post did I say surrendering is the answer, no where did I say today is better then it was and no where did I say that we will have a utopia. Took you 2 days to respond and you couldn’t even take the time to read my response. I have now lost whatever respect I may have had for you as a poster. You’re more like the poster child for this

I deal with bullies and their victims almost daily from an authority position. Junior high through adults. I see what the problem is and have to deal with the aftermath of weakness in resistance from parents, school administrators, and arm chair quarterbacks on sites like these. I offer time tested solutions that worked for me and still work for others these days, and you and others with no skin in the game proclaim I'm antiquated and wrong. I don't care whether I lose your respect as a poster because I don't cotton to wokeness bullies, or people who take things personally when I was responding to the "group think" responses.
And for the record, I kinda like the hillibillis tag. Suits me fine, and thanks to whoever came up with it.

As a footnote, because the bullied responding here think it gives them the moral high ground, yes, I was teased (now known as bullied) mercilessly as a kid for the same reason as Johnny Cash's boy named Sue. It got so severe the school tried to step in, and my parents came home from a 4th grade conference and told me it would be OK if I wanted to change my name. I not only liked my name but l knew instinctively the adult resolution to the problem was wrong, and I should not give in to bullies. Although the teasing slowed for the rest of the year it fired back up worse the next year. I did not have any martial arts training, but I thank my siblings now for the black eyes and bloody noses (training) they gave me while growing up. Early in 5th grade I put an end to the bullying myself, and I only had to do it once. It fired up again in Jr. High and I put an end to it then, only needing to do that once. You can rag on me all you want about how you believe I'm wrong but I will reject your opinion like I rejected my grade school's administration's solution.

After you properly introduced yourself but before you knocked those punks out, did you say, “how do you do, now you gonna die"?

I personally don't think I have the moral High Ground. But I also don't think that one persons solution works for others either. If it worked for you, than that is great, but it doesn't mean that it works for every kid. It didn't work for my son, and now here we are... Point again is, with the amount of law suits, and parents not actually raising their kids to be good human beings, what can a school do? What options does a parent have when they see their child crying every time he comes home. What if the kids doing it are not being held responsible. There are no right answers to any of these questions. Opening up a dialog about the issues facing kids, Schools, Universities, and the world in general is a good start. THAT is what this is all about.

Like I said, you didn’t read my post where I gave the example of my daughters friend beating up one of her bullies, getting kicked out of the school for assault, and now forced to go to an inner city school for troubled kids as a fat, poor, ugly, white girl. Do you think that solution worked for her? She definitely didn’t need martial arts training either cus she was much bigger then her bullies and broke the girls arm. At least she should get a lot more practice of beating up bullies. I guess that will work for her.
