It’s just a shame that kids these days are ill-equipped to handle stress and teasing. You couple that with the fact that defending one’s self is frowned upon in academia, and is often rewarded with expulsion/suspension for both parties involved, and you’ll see why some kids feel so helpless these days. Kids spend way too much time communicating via electronic devices, and too little time learning about life, and it’s ups and downs. Maybe if this girl confronted the bully off school grounds, and beat the ever living crap out of her, this nonsense would stop. I seriously weep for the future of our youth. Bad parenting, unrealistic educators, modern technology, and an overall apathy toward life is what’s dooming them.

Yeah, that's right and parents need to "toughen up" their kids these days and make it so that they can take this kind of stuff and not be "weenies" -- and I'm not kidding, the parents really need to do that.
What you said makes sense.
I think of the many suicides in our military these days.
I think we are taking kids whose parents have failed them. Certainly our schools and our culture have failed them.
Then we put them in a junior high school environment 1000 times worse?
Its a wonder we don’t have more suicidal cracks-ups every day.
