Matt Walsh asks "we teach our kids to be doormats and then wonder why there is a "bullying epidemic"?
A couple of questions he brings up are, is bullying worse now than in the past? We passed laws, tried to medicalize the situation, and spent millions on PSA's and have made no real dent, why?
He believes that bullying comes from human nature and nothing will change that bullies exist.
But that the evidence is clear, kids are spiraling downward into depression and sometimes suicide at a much higher rate.
Bullying exists but the kids being bullied are not equipped to handle it. The bigger person turns the other cheek, walks away and that is "strong" and "courageous" but the children never feel strong, they are feeling like a punchline.
That is the gist of the article, read it and share your take. I think he may be right...
