Standing up to a bully can help but can also feed the bully. Also, if you stand up to him and lose the child will feel even more hopeless and will get bullied even more and other kids will also view him a loser.
This was so true when I was growing up.
As a child my experience is extremely relevant.
But your understanding of it is not. You simply do not have the tools to understand everything just yet.

Be more specific, argue with arguments, not people.
How in the world does a 11 year old know about suicide?? This is heartbreaking.What triggers someone to commit suicide?
Just like there are aspects about Judaism which CM can't fully understand and there are aspects of Catholicism that you and I cannot understand, so to there are aspects of parenting which you cannot understand and there are aspects of growing up today that I cannot understand. Face teh reality of it.
100% agree and we don't even know if this boy had social mediajust saying that it is a factor in todays problemaslo at certain ages it is hard to keep kids away from the technology in todays world.
There is a Netflix show that glorifies suicide.
What are we arguing about? Other than that you have no experience raising kids and that somehow your experience as a child is relevant.
That much I agree, but as you said there are aspects of growing up you will not understand.Therefore I am qualified for this argument, and like I said if you disagree argue with an argument, not a person.
Maybe i just dont get it. No one ever committed suicide from bullying when i was growing up. And there was plenty bullying going on. What is it today that makes the bullying worse than when I was growing up in a non-PC world. The names we were called and the pressures we were subjected to was far greater than anything I see today. Yes it is the schools job to police the bullying and to educate that its wrong. But its not their job to raise the kid, sorry.
A parent raising a child today has a far greater understanding of what it means for a child to grow up today than a child growing up today has of a parent raising a child today.Hope that's not too complicated for you.
It comes from young children having unfettered access to the internet. I'm not sure how anyone can't see that.
There is a limited understanding to everyone, if you are a parent of children 5-18 now, all you are missing a child's POV, but if you are not raising a child in everyone of those age groups, or you know from years back, you are missing a lot.
So since you're not exactly 11 years old, you surely don't have the right POV on this matter.
If anyone doesn't know my opinion and is arguing just because, here it is.A. Children need to have thicker skinB. Schools need to be more aware, and listen to complaints.C. Bullies need more love, and are mostly victims of something themselves.
