STOP BULLYING IN YOUR SCHOOL

Bullying is a critical issue facing students today with approximately 864,000 teens staying home one day a month because they fear for their safety. According to the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center, the facts are troubling because bullying too often leads to violence, loss of self-esteem and even depression. Recent headlines support this finding as bullying is being attributed to youth murders and suicides. In fact, the CDC reports only car accidents and homicides (murders) kill more people between the ages of 15 and 24, making suicide the third leading cause of death in teens and overall in youths ages 10 to 19 years old.
