    Twenty years ago it was in person or through the grapevine. Now it's on the Internet, anonymously.

    First tell me in a sentence or two how bullying is different from 20 years ago. I want to know what you're thinking.

    Back in the 80's kids that were being bullied knew who the bully was, but today bullies are able to use the Internet or cell phones to terrorize their victims.

    Thus, bullies can be anonymous nowadays. Is that the point of your thesis statement, that it's easier to be a bully now?

    Please don't hit 'unhelpful' so easily; that's not what it's meant for really. It's meant for totally wrong facts. Sorry you didn't know that, but it's not fair to the record of the responder.

    It's good when writing a thesis to narrow the topic after giving a broad summary at the beginning. The internet/text/phone slant is a good one, and I would stay with that. It also goes across the spectrum of rich schools, poor schools, big schools and little schools. You could comment on that too. I live in a mostly middle class rural area where there isn't as much bullying as in large city schools, or poor areas, but computers do even that out somewhat.

    As for how to actually write the sentences? You are on your own!

    I used your words and some of mine.

    Students may become bullies to have power over other students. Back in the 1980s, students who were being bullied knew who the bully was, but today that has changed. Bullies are able to use modern technology in order to terrorize their victims, yet remain anonymous.

    Now, you need a thesis sentence to wrap up these ideas.
