Default Bullying

Is bullying more prevalent now, or simply more widely reported? What was your experience growing up?

My elementary and high school years were in the 50s-60s and I swear, I was never bullied or knew anyone who was. The most I can recall is kids sometimes calling me "Laurel and Hardy" because my name is Laurel. Was I just lucky and/or oblivious, or is the problem really much worse now? If so, why? Cyberbullying is new since the Internet, of course.
