#Bullying & #Cyber-bullying…important information

bully

I happened upon a very good article about bullying & cyber-bullying that I would like to share with you. I believe anyone involved in teaching children, or running a school should read this.  Please share this article with your child’s school and or teacher – see the link below, as well as the other links at the bottom of this blog post.  The more information that we share on these subjects the more positive things can be done to stop this aggressive behavior.

As in cases of stalking the vast majority of bullying incidents, whether they happen in person or online, go unreported.  I believe some kids that bully start at an early age, and those who get away with it can have that behavior easily escalate, and by the time they reach adolescence or adulthood they may feel empowered to do other horrible things…like stalking.
