Hmmm...I tend to think too that the definition of bullying has changed and evolved. Bullying when I was in school was physical for the most part. These days, a lot of bullying is verbal, and I don't always believe that it should be considered bullying. Of course, I realize that's a pretty unpopular stance to take, but then again, I was also the sufferer of much bullying growing up. But the bullying I endured then wouldn't make the newsroom these days because I was white, a girl and a heterosexual.
Actually, verbal bullying can be just as bad. In fact, with social networking it has become a lot worse. Kids (and even adults in some cases) say whatever they want because they feel a false sense of anonymity. Sadly, there are many white, heterosexual girls making the newsroom because of this. Here are just a few examples:
