You're missing my point. Even if the instances of bullying have gone down (and I have no reason to dispute that), today, there are fewer ways to escape bullying. In 1995, we went home after school and we could be isolated from others or if we wanted to talk on the phone to or hang out with friends, we could do that too.

Compare to today. Ding you've been added to a Whatsapp group. Ding you've been mentioned on an Instagram post. Ding your TikTok video has been shared. It is harder to escape all that especially when those are the ways your friends communicate with each other.
