 Bullying isn’t just a schoolyard problem anymore—it’s everywhere, from classrooms to DMs. In this episode, we break down how bullying has evolved in Dearborn and beyond, and tackle the big question: is it really getting worse in the age of social media?

The guests for this show is Saleh Thabet and Noah Kaid.

What’s Inside:

 Old School vs. New School: Comparing playground bullying from back in the day to the relentless world of cyberbullying Social Media’s Role: How platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat have changed the game for kids and parents Hard-Hitting Stats: The latest numbers on cyberbullying, mental health, and what it means for our community Real Solutions: What parents, schools, and local leaders can do to keep kids safe—both online and off Community Voices: True stories from Dearborn families navigating these new challenges

We’ll Answer:

  • Is social media making bullying worse, or just more visible?
  • Why aren’t old-school anti-bullying programs enough anymore?
  • How can Muslim families protect their children and still honor cultural values?
  • What can our community do to step up?

This isn’t just talk—we’re giving you real data, practical tips, and a platform for your voice. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or student, you’ll walk away with new insights and tools to fight back against bullying in every form.
