In my experiences, the "bullies" were kids that had troubled home lives. They weren't necessarily the hoodlums. I went to school with upper middle class kids(we were not) and some of them were the worst for picking on others.


My thoughts on why it has become so relevant lately is the growth of the social media. You can say anything you want to pretty much anyone and don't have to do it face to face.

Part of the problem is that some people, for whatever reason, believe that if it's on the computer it's true.

Calling a girl a slut back in my high school days would cause her some bad feelings(maybe, depending on the girl I suppose) but now you could easily have several others continue those words and pretty soon it's spread all over the internet. You can't erase what's been typed.
