Notes
· Many suicides have been reported with cases of bullying and because of this, many states are considering bullying prevention laws to stop it at once.
· This is probably the first time that the United States as a whole is meeting to discuss bullying and there is a lot of hope that something will be done to stop bullying.
· It is hard for students to learn if bullying is an ongoing issue in their school and kids start to drop out and fail school.
· Schools that have bullying prevention programs drastically reduce bullying and benefit form a good learning environment for students.
· “In 2007, nearly 1 out of 3 students in middle school and high school said they had been bullied at school during the school year.” (Paulson, pg.1)
· “900,000 high schoolers reported being cyberbullied in 2007.” (Paulson, pg.1)
· Many bullying programs cannot happen due to budget cuts at the school and this can result in a rapid increase of bullying.
· There is much more attention surrounding bullying at schools across the United States, but some laws might come with it that schools might not want to deal with.
· Sometimes students get bullied worse the more it happens to them while some report that that the bullying either stops or gets better after the first time.
· The amount of bullying depends largely on how the teachers can handle it and how well they can respond to it.
