Students readily admit that bullying is a problem. However, teachers sometimes feel that bullying is not a concern. If the students say it's a problem, it's a problem.
Students say bullying is a problem
But teachers say not at our school
If the students say it's a problem
Then we must abide by their rules
I felt this one clear to my soul, Billy. I was a victim of bullying, not only at school, but at home. I still live with the memories, the pain years later; because of this, I don't have a good opinion of myself (I am working hard to change this). I am still very easily hurt when people say mean or unkind things to me; I am extremely sensitive, and at times I HATE it. We do need to teach our children about accepting differences in people; and it begins at home. If we teach our children to hate others based on race/religion/ethnicity/size, etc. then they will become bullies in the long run. The cycle continues. It is up to the parents to teach this, NOT the schools. I pray that your important message is heard; something needs to be done to end this epidemic of bullying!!
I've been there. I know first hand just what damage bullying can cause.

First of all, Billy, welcome to AD, you're among friends.
Secondly, as the victim of bullying myself, I think it begins at home, with the parents. WE NEED TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO ACCEPT DIFFERENCES IN PEOPLE. Children are smarter than given credit for: they pick up on their parent's fears and prejudices; they pick up on the total lack of respect for anything considered not "normal." WHAT IS NORMAL, anyway???????? I pray your message is spread far and wide.
Crisis Management for First Responders is for first responders to be able to help victims of critical incidents as well as their own personnel who are affected by the trauma they witness or experience themselves.
