This! Letting kids be horrible all they like with shrug and a "kids will be kids, they can't help it, their brains aren't finished" is not actually doing them any favors. If they can't learn not to do that without facing consequences, then they need to face some consequences. Even if that's just getting lots of pushback online, it's very important that they get that!

It's not as if their only victims are thick-skinned adults. They go after a lot of vulnerable people: fellow minors, people with mental health issues that makes them very susceptible to bullying, etc. Maybe they have youth-related reasons for being awful, but does it really matter to their victims? Someone killed by a minor is just as dead as someone killed by an adult.

Who in this thread said "let kids be kids and also we should do nothing about it" though?

One person pointed out there is a difference between a child acting like a child and an adult acting like a child (probably because there is far more hope for the child growing out of their childish phase than the adult who had decades to do so and chose not to).

I'm confused how there is so much disagreement about this statement.

It's kind of irrelevant, though. Bullies need to be made to stop regardless of their age - the safety of their victims should always take priority, even if they're older than the bullies. Hopefully children will outgrow it, but some don't and never will, and frankly that doesn't matter in the present moment. They are doing real harm now, just like adult bullies do. We don't owe them coddling or softballs because they >might become better people in the future!
