I'm so damn thankful that I'm not growing up in this day and age.
It can definitely be tough. Even popular kids who'd never have been bullied in the past and aren't bullied at school are subject to tech bullying. All it takes is one person and they can pretend to be numerous posters via various methods. It usually doesn't get to the popular kids as much as kids who fall in the middle or at the bottom of the school hierarchy but it can still sting and for some who may have problems going on at home or other issues it can push them over the age.
I don't think we give enough credit to kids for how damn hard it can be just to be a kid these days. Even school policies are often absurd and can end up with a kid getting arrested or charged for things they shouldn't be arrested/charged for even a few years ago.
