Get your kids in BJJ/MMA gym. They will not only become more physically self independent, they will become mentally more independent as well.

Ive been making a conscious effort to not be dicking off on my phone around my kids, ever. No social media besides this. My plans are to tell them that shite rots your brain.
Raising a kid in the digital age is such a minefield. You can't hide them from it. My wife and I are just taking the honest approach. I'm hoping that at least now the parents kinda grew up in the digital age and understand the negatives of it. My parents grew up with rotary phones and had to raise kids who had smart phones and Facebook. At least today's parents grew up with smartphones and Facebook.

Its becoming an epidemic, sadly. I just put all 3 of my kids on Boron. 500mg per day.

I think it's time some of these bullies face severe consequences. Good luck in Jetson, it sure ain't Parkview or SJA!

That is horrible. I cannot imagine that as a parent.

I hope your son has recovered.

My son attempted suicide this past September. It wasn't due to bullying. He has suffered from anxiety and depression for years. He's been through several counselors and he avoided transparency with them. I came home from work September 12th and found him in the field behind my house. He had shot himself in the head with a .22 cricket rifle and was bleeding from his eyes, nose and ears. It was the worst day of my life, but it could've been worse.
Can you finish the story by telling us how his recovery went and is he ok now? That’s terrifying

There's a little fat shite girl on my kids bus that is a major bully. Parents aren't worth a shite, they inherited a bunch of family money and don't work. The girl has said some truly awful things to my daughter, about me and my wife, about her siblings. She has a little crew that she has on her side as well
When the bully’s parents care less I don’t see how you can make it stop. But years from now that fat bully will not turn into anything while your daughter will be doing well in life.

take the phone or device away and the cyberbullying stops. The child undergoing the bullying needs a safe respite
Not necessarily. I've pointed this out in another thread a few weeks ago, but the girls (yeah, I went there) that are doing the bullying just whip themselves into a feeding frenzy, and pounce on the target once they appear at lunch, etc. *All* parents need to take responsibility for the actions of their shithead kids online; or, you could just get all these kids that aren't driving an Apple Watch so they can call you and you always know where they are.
One piece of work, the first week of middle school, amused herself by taking pictures of my 6th grade son at lunch and sending them to her snap group. Then, when she realized he didn't have a Snapchat account and wasn't reacting, started adding him to group texts and harassing him, over, and over, and readding him after he dropped out of the group (ex wife got him the phone, which I couldn't stop). And for what? Luckily, the AP for discipline gave her and her parents a verbal arse whipping and it stopped. But for what?
And don't forget, girls start the bullying behavior, no matter how wealthy, far earlier than boys do. Boys fight over toys, girls fight over who someone is.

Interesting.
Why then, would gen alpha, quite possibly the least bullied generation of all time be pushing back so hard on woke right now?
It’s as if the two things aren’t related and shitty people will always find some way to justify their shitty behavior.

Damn that is horrible. That sucks so bad!
I can’t imagine the pain that little girl felt to do that. And I can’t imagine what the parents are feeling now.
Very Sad ….

I've told my kids that if anyone ever tries to make them feel like that to just kick their arse and that I'll have their back.
ETA: I've also told my kids that they should lift people up and not ever put them down. My daughter bullied some poor girl in Kindergarten and made her cry and I almost felt bad with how bad I came down on her.

Light Bullying that isn’t constant with social media paired with the bullied being able to fight back physically and not get suspended is what’s needed.
There will always be bullies. Every workplace, social group, sports team, etc has them. Having the self confidence to stand up to them cannot be given nor instilled from outside the individual. It’s our jobs as parents to provide the environment to allow true self confidence to develop.
To the OP:
This is terrible and it breaks my heart. I’m so sorry you and your family and friends have to go through this. Complete social isolation and someone telling someone else to kill herself is not light bullying and it sickens me.

Those bullies need to be tossed into juvie, then transferred to adult prison at 18 for life.

bullshite.
Kindness doesn’t always mean being nice. Kindness can include standing up to a bully for someone who can’t, even to the point of fighting.

Punch them in the face until it stops. Bullies prey on easy/helpless targets. Violence should NEVER be the first answer, but it’s always AN answer to bullying.

it's just light bullying
Bullying is bullying. It's a fine line between giving someone a hard time and bullying and people are naturally oversensitive to it. It think it's also different for everybody. Every person has a different level of emotional and mental fragility. The not so simple answer is that you just have to know your kids and their friends. You also have to step in if you find out something is going on. If it comes to your attention as a parent, it's already past the point of seeing what happens, intervention is needed.

I'm going to disagree with you there.
We didn't have social media bullying until I was almost out of college and I'm a millennial.
We also didn't have cell phones where someone can bully you all day with.
