Zay has a point.
What you guys need to understand is that the bullying of today is not like the bullying of your generation. It doesn't simply stop once you leave the playground. With social media, it follows you everywhere.
Not to mention the fact that children today are far more violent, and are willing to bully people to the point of actually killing them or driving them towards suicide.
I remember how I was bullied way back when I was in 5th grade, by a whole pack of white kids. They thought I was too tall to be in their grade (I was 5"10 or 11 back then.. I was tall for an 11 year old) and that I had failed a grade. They made fun of me, laughed behind my back, called me names, etc. One day they even threw salt in my lunch, effectively ruining it. I wondered: why would anyone hate me so much? What did I do to them? Is it because I'm black and they're white? Things like that rushed through my head and really made me want to just leave school every day.
Being bullied in that way really made me feel like shyt. It made me wonder why I even continue to live, and that perhaps suicide would be the better option. At one point, these kids even tried to fight me but I did manage to hold my own. I eventually had to tell the teacher to get them to stop, and of course once my mother found out about it she went the fukk IN on those kids. They left me alone after that alright..
When I got to high school no one really bullied me anymore. They were mostly just scared of me because I was very tall and black (
)
All in all I survived that and I'm still standing today, so..
However, can you imagine if my situation had social media involved in it? I might not have had the strength to keep on living. I can't help but feel bad for these kids who get trashed for entire social networks to see. It really messes with your psyche and damages you as a person. This kind of shyt absolutely needs to stop, and it needs to stop soon before it REALLY gets out of hand.
