Young victims of schoolyard bullying could in the past retreat to safe spaces - a friend’s house, a favorite art or music teacher’s classroom, the computer club. Today, the bullies are posting cruel messages and media about you in huge group chats and creating fake social media accounts under your name to embarrass you. The abuse follows them into their bedrooms. There’s literally nowhere for them to go to hide. This is why tween suicide rates are skyrocketing, especially for girls. |

I don't think you meant it this way but what you're saying there is that victims of bullying who have been physically harmed in school yards could have just retreated to a safe space and avoided it. Clearly that's not true. I don't think you meant that but the words you've used are clearly wrong.
The one advantage of social media is that it does have an off button, in a way that the bully screaming in your face in the lunch hall queue does not.
>> This is why tween suicide rates are skyrocketing
I'm sure it's a contributing factor but this is just a statement we can't back up other than with faith that we think we understand what's happening. The truth is we don't fully understand.
>> to embarrass you
It is definitely a viable medium for bullys to harm victims. What i'm getting at is the problem is the bullying rather than the medium. If you play whackamole with all the ways a person can persecute another, you'll never solve it.
