Thoughts on Bullying

 

The numbers are staggering.

  • Every day, one out of four kids is bullied.*
  • Every seven minutes, a child is bullied on the playground.*
  • In 85% of the bullying situations, no one intervened.*

These are alarming statistics. Many of us don’t realize the problem has become so bad. Many of us do know, but don’t know what to do about it. If you are reading the information on this page, you most likely have a child or know of a child you care about who has either been bullied, witnessed a bullying incident or was in fact the bullier.

Regardless of why you came to this page, we understand your desire to take a proactive step NOW.
