Student Bullying and Cyberbullying in the United States
February 28, 2012 at 10:32 am 2 commentsWe recently checked out this infographic about bullying in schools, created by the law offices of Buckfire & Buckfire in Michigan. Researched and designed after the office began receiving frequent calls from concerned parents about their children being harassed at school, the infographic shows facts and statistics about student bullying. One of the most shocking numbers on there is that 160,000 students miss school every day for fear of being bullied. Equally as concerning is that 77% of students are bullied mentally, verbally and physically, and cyberbullying statistics are approaching similar numbers.

Have your kids experienced bullying in the past? Have you ever had to speak with school administrators or law officers about these kinds of problems?
Every school should have an effective bully prevention/intervention program. It needs to be reinforced and used by the entire school community throughout the school year.
I like your post. It is good to see you verbalize from the heart and clarity on this important subject can be easily observed.
