I used to be a youth camp counselor, my SO is in that field, my best friend is a teacher in Spain, i have a lot of acquaintance left in that field, and my father used to lead a team of counselor (weird to explain in english tbh, that' the closest translation i found). This might be more advanced in the US, because this isn't seen in elementary school in my country yet (not until 11-12 at least), but in the last 5 years at least (pre-covid) people i speak with have definitely observed this behavior among teenage boys, a sort of anti-social personna they put on and never let go (helped by phones). Bullying moved online mostly, which is a real issue in our country, because the school personnel are only taught how to spot and stop usual bullying, not the online one (spain seems to be better from what i've heard, but they do respect teaching more than us it seems, which help getting teachers who aren't total jackass). Overall, the school is worse for everyone, even in private education (public education isn't helped by spending "cuts" and 36+ children by teacher in some cases, but it seems the bullying is way, way less prevalent)
