I have been waiting for the School Board candidates to discuss real issues. Many of them talk about their years as volunteers in schools. If that were true, they would know that bullying is real. If they desired to solve real issues, they would require a zero tolerance on bullying.

The problem with bullying is that the one in three that are bullied, are always the one voice against the mob. The mob (groups of kids) cover and the bullied kid becomes the depressed kid that becomes isolated kid and the roller coaster continues until something tragic occurs. For Kirk Smalley it was when his son Ty took his own life. WBIR has some good information on Stopping Bullying, here.
