Bullying
Bullying is a serious problem in today's schools. It is our job as adults to make sure that students understand what bullying is, and how they can stand up to it safely. "When adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows that this can stop bullying behavior over time." This is a direct quote from stopbullying.gov.
1 in 4 students in the U.S. say that they have experienced bullying in some form or fashion at school. There are many types of bullying: physical, verbal, social, and cyber. None are acceptable and all should be stopped.
Below is an attached link to the stopbullying.gov website, they have more pertinent information about bullying and why it is important to stop the behavior.
