((muffy)))) thank you for posting more information on this topic.. its so hard for the kids to learn when they are so afraid.. 30% is a hugely high number of students... even if the other 70% didnt say so, with such a large percentage of students admitting the effects of bullying, it has to affect the others in an indirect way as well...

if bullying is a learned trait, i believe it can be unlearned also... education is important if we want to understand causes and cures...

it may be idealistic to imagine that bullying can be completely eliminated but its a place to start and if we dream, why not dream big?

even bullies admit that being bullied is no fun.. i imagine many choose bullying because they imagine it is a matter of survival...

i would hope that people can see that harming others and being harmed are two sides of the same coin (harm)

we can stop the harming if we could understand that we are only running towards bullying, in a crazy effort to escape it, when we choose bullying..
