In every school across the United States

At least one child is being bullied, or we have heard of it at least. At times, teachers, parents, or children witness bullies at their school. Usually, the students attention is called in, and the student is reprimanded. This does not stop the behavior though. As educators and parents, it's important to look into what is causing children's or students' behaviors. Once we tap into the problem, we could work on changing the behavior.

The reality of bullying

No one likes to be bullied, but it happens. These bullies are the ones that we would love to stomp flat as an ant. Reality sets in, and you can't do it out of fear. Fear is the evil of silence, which only gives the bully more ammunition to carry on with their bullying. Encourage students to analyze the cause of bullying, and let me come up with a solution to stop it. Empower students, and they shall deliver.
