Quote From: can_girlI'm sorry, but I do believe that self esteem and self confidence are huge in eliminating bullying. I've seen it first hand with friends. When you realize who you are, what people say doesn't matter. Yes, parents need to get more involved and other steps do need to be taken, but first and foremost, kids need to realize who they are.
Bullying IS an epidemic in most of our schools and continues to be ignored by teachers, students and parents. There needs to be more done with this issue. It would have been more helpful to have some answers of what to do in these types of situations. As with the D.A.R.E. programs and such, it would be an enormous support to lots of children to have a school/state run program to put an end to bullying for good.
