Kids have been beating each other up, dunking their heads in toilets, spreading rumors, upending garbage cans on each other, etc for as long as there have been kids. The bullying rate is actually at ~2/3 of what it used to be. I definitely agree from what I've heard from teachers that classroom kids are more unruly and disrespectful than before, but I don't think it's really tied to them being assholes to each other.
