When most teenagers are put through a lecture about bullying, they tend to laugh it off and put it aside. The word "bully" seems like a word used more commonly in elementary school. That is probably because that is where you first heard about it, but the truth is, bullying occurs a lot more often in middle school and high schools. Over 75% of students are bullied in high schools in the US. Of that 75%, over 14% of those students have considered suicide… 7% have attempted it.

My thoughts on what an effective school leader should be.

The ramifications for modern education when we realize that boys and girls do learn differently.

Bullying on school playgrounds is a silent problem, that is often ignored by administrators and teachers. Parents must be advocates for school bullying policies. Our children have the right to be safe at school.
