In some cases it makes a difference but as I wrote above yesterday, what bullying has become is so much more dynamic and magnified. I don't even think it can be classified as bullying anymore. Bullying a long time ago was ganging up on a kid once in awhile, knocking his hat off in the hallway every time you saw him, and talking crap about his mom. Bullying today is more like extreme tormenting. For some of the kids that face really bad bullying, from the start of the day until the end of the day they are being mentally abused. Text messages, facebook messages, and then all of the other normal stuff. But with texting and FB now, it's not just a small group of bullies, they bring the entire school into it. Then all of the kids in school know, they all talk about it and post about it on facebook, on twitter, and random kids thinking it's just funny send text messages constantly. When we're talking about 12 years olds and 15 year olds; some of these kids just don't have the mental power to deal with being tormented all day long, 7 days a week. It breaks them. It's like the wife who's husband treats her like  and talks down to her no matter what she does. Except these kids hear from 20+ kids, different kids on different days, everywhere they go and all day long. There is no escape and then they break.
 
LOL, didn't mean to write that much. Some of it I already said and others have said but I don't think some people quite understand because we have this idea of what bullying is because of what the word used to mean.
