Bullying is a widespread problem. And the US handles it really badly. I think it's been only in the last decade, decade and a half American schools even wanted to admit there is a problem. And unlike France, we don't have a nationwide anti-bullying measure in schools. (They instituted theirs in the early to late 2000s, I think.)

We need Mr. Rogers even more than ever. RIP Mr. Rogers.

I think it's because of how we portray bullies. Bullies are always OTHER people. And you, person reading this billboard or watching this movie or whatever, are meant to empathize with the victim. You're the victim.

Which means no one ever, and I mean EVER thinks they're the bully! In my experience, most kids are both bully AND bullied depending on the different social circles they're in or the situation. Most kids have shitty moments. It's normal. Kids are inherently selfish, and they're learn how to interact with others by watching. Which means a lot of times they're not working with full context and their empathy machine isn't fully turned on quite yet.

So we need to reframe the conversation around behaviors and how to do better. Not "LOOK AT TIMMY, ISN'T HE A LITTLE ASSHOLE?!"

Weirdly we have the same issue with how we portray racism. Literally no one ever thinks they could be the bad guy because of how the conversation is framed. It's some horseshit.
