300 kids is 300 too many
Posted by David Wees on Oct 26, 2011
Rick Mercer is right, we need to do more.
This is not a problem that we can expect schools (and parents) to solve alone. We will never end bullying in our schools while we continue to accept it in our society.

Bullying is not good
I think once in our school age we did tried to be bullied or maybe the one who bullied. Sometimes, we do laugh too. But did we also think what might be the result of that towards someones personality? That will sometimes be the reason that the persons self esteem will get low and worst that person will be depressed until to the point of suicide. Please keep in mind that a single time of making fun to others will be the reason of a lifetime negative thinking towards self and others.
