According to the CDC 160,000 kids stay home from school each day because of the bullies in their school. Children and teens are teased and physically abused daily by bullies, and most wind up transferring to another school because they just can't take it.
Here is a great story that I watched on ABC Nightly News this past Sunday about what one principal has done about the bullying in his school.
He sent a survey to all the students and asked for the names of all the bullies in the school. When he received the names, he gathered all the "bullies" together in a classroom, not to punish them,but to find out why they were bullying?
This group of bullies usually have problems at home, problem with forming relationships, they are lashing out at other children because there is something wrong in their world. He even puts them on a reward system and monitors their bullying behavior. Well, guess what? It worked, there is now less bullying and disruptive behavior at that particular school.
The teens that left the middle school have returned and even the bullies are doing better.
What a tremendous effort by that principal. Wish I had his name..........
