green messages instead of blue and has led to a rash of teen bullying.

Why is this asssertion always second hand. Is there really any such bullying?

I only know my kids:

  • had to be told why there is sometimes a different color
  • mainly use other chat tools like WhatsApp (yes, we’re in the US)

This really seems like a non-issue made up and kept alive in the media

I just remember being a stupid, petty teenager. It could be bullshit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true.
