Bullying has been in our school systems for many years, STOP! Why? Has this been a not only a continued problem but a growing problem? Bullying has escalated not only in the schools; it has really taken off since the millennium children, with the increased age of the technology and with the internet. Since the days when I was in school during the mid-80’s, why have schools not been able to come up with idea on how to stop bullying? In fact school shootings are increasing, along with suicides in adolescents. Schools need to start educating our teachers and staff on bullying prevention programs that will give them the tools and training for early detection of bullying. This can and will prevent bullying and give our children a more positive learning experience well into and past college.

This article explains the study of effects that bullying has past high school and even well past college. The study showed bullying in middle school and high school lasted long after, a total of 269 undergrad students participated in the study. The findings found that 100 of the 269 students (37.2%) said they were bullied in middle school or high school. The discussion with these students alliterated on the victimization continued after high school and into college, causing them to have trouble making friends, felt no one would listen to them while in college, and they were feeling isolated. I agree with this study, knowing my son is a victim of bullying and has been since his 6th grade year in middle school. He isolates himself by not making friends, stays home a lot and not going outside when the weather is really nice. He is also very emotional, so yes I found this article interesting and will use in
