You're correct, I haven't logged into my account since 2018, but I am talking about the period from 2007-2013, now I am assuming since Meta has Facebook & Instagram & Whatsapp the UX would be more or less the same across platforms like stories/reels or some form of infinite looped community engagement.

I think bullying exists everywhere, it ranges from being explicit, like everybody knows what is going on to very implicit bullying which involves people being iced out from social circles slowly but surely, but I agree with your point, I'll do my best to equip my children with tools to navigate such scenarios, since they exist in adulthood as well. Also these experiences are imo essential for character development ie; being sure about who you are and where you come from without being swept up in the beliefs of your peer group.
