I wonder how much diversity and inclusion there really is in a school today. Many little kids are dicks, and will always be dicks.

Changes in what the adults tell them is or isn't appropriate won't sway them, they're going to continue to abuse each other and come up with colourful reasons to separate into groups, be it clothing, hair style, gender, skin colour, accent, what flavour of crisps you prefer.... etc.

I am not sure if this is even measurable anymore. A lot of things that happened in the past were not considered bullying. Even really serious stuff.

Additionally, especially when looking at anecdotal evidence, how respectful kids treat each other can be different per school and even for each class.

For a few things we have semi-reliable statistics. For example in Germany the number of knives that are regularly taken from students has significantly increased. Also the number of times schools called the police because they needed help getting a situation under control. But this could also mean there are more extreme single cases. It doesn't necessarily mean the overall atmosphere is more aggressive.

i graduated school recently and bullying was nearly non-existent with some exceptions like when someone said he wanted to have sex with children

If you own an iPhone is the new thing. Apparently if your parents aren't willing to waste $1000+ dollars on a phone they don't love you.
