Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 353: Ginger Whitson on Bullying — What it Looks Like, How to Handle It, and How to Protect Our Kids from Being Targets · 12 Dec 2023 podcast

They were two of the great people that said, No, this is not a normal part of growing up.

This is cruel.

It's having a lasting impact on people.

So I think bullying has always been pervasive.

I think they did a good job at bringing it a little bit more to the forefront, getting more people talking about it.

I think that cyberbullying and just, you know, the the type of bullying that I experienced or people my age experienced when growing up was not a twenty four seven experience.

School could be really, really rough, but then you could go home and you had a respite and you had the family dinner table, you know, without as many interruptions and you just weren't connected like kids are now.

So I think bullying feels like a bigger problem in some ways because

kids are so connected to each other at all hours of the day.

My guess is, and I think I think research also bears this out, that it's not that higher percentages of kids are being bullied now.

But I think that there's no time of day that's off limits, there's no rest.

I think the media does keep bullying in the spotlight more.

It's talked about more than it ever used to be.

Yeah, I do you know, talk about my pathway into this work.

That was also another one of my entrees.

Even though I think of myself as an advocate for children, a a person who's, you know, steeped in the bullying prevention world, one of the things I've really learned is that that is an overused term.

Not everything that happens among young people is bullying.

For a long time no one was talking about bullying.

Then all of a sudden everyone was talking about bullying in every crossed eye anytime someone looked at someone else funny, it was labeled it bullying.

And that made it really hard for parents and teachers and professionals to discern what's really important here versus what is normal, manageable conflict that while it doesn't feel good to be on the receiving end of it.
