One in every two teens and children across America are bullied every day. One in four are bullied online. Many don't know how to deal with bullies in school, or who to reach out too and are left feeling hopeless. This needs to end. Now.
No child deserves to walk through the hallways in fear, or sit alone at lunch because everyone else picks on them, or be left without resources to help their situation.
Schools need to add anti-bullying education into their curriculum starting in elementary schools. Schools need to have counselors for children to easily talk to if they face a bullying problem.
Finally, schools need to have no tolerance for those who bully. There must be serious consequences for a child who bullies another, and more serious consequences for repeat bullies. The time for change is not tomorrow or next year. It is now and it all begins with us.
