From what I hear from young people and parents, physical fighting or bullying is down from previous decades. It’s been largely replaced with cyber bullying. I’m glad I got to fight a couple bullies in junior high and early high school and be done with the BS. I’d argue teens can have it worse these days if they are targeted online. Emotional and mental wounds can take longe to heal.

I can’t say for sure, but I do work with high schoolers some times, and it sure seems like there’s a lot more positivity and inclusivity and a lot less bullying
