Those posters don't seem to understand how this generation works. Because we have raised them with technology and because our values as a society have eroded, they view everything as content. Beating someone up and recording it is "funny." Humiliating your peers to the point that they break down mentally is powerful. And because they know there are no SERIOUS consequences for fighting, bullying, and other mischief at school, they feel entitled and empowered to do it.

Meanwhile, other kids are walking around traumatized or in the case of this NJ teen girl, they're devastated to the point that they kill themselves. Shame on us as adults for allowing this to be the status quo. Shame on school leaders for being lax when it comes to this stuff, which makes the victims feel like no one cares about their well-being and safety! When will we wake up?[/quote]
