Though, how to find the tipping point between that and ignoring? It's a tricky balance. But hopefully we've moved in the right direction at least!AimeeLSalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763596557256341788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-975568795736048112013-11-18T16:59:13.184-05:002013-11-18T16:59:13.184-05:00Very interesting article.

I'm not sure about media coverage as that isn't as emphasized here (Finland) but I can say that the anti-bullying education our kids receive at schools sometimes becomes counter-productive because it becomes an incessant drone that bores and desensitized teens to the actual problem. At least, there are anti-bullying programs in place and schools are taking it seriously. I only hope it's making a difference for the victims.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288802923434609582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-28192808033658921032013-11-18T16:09:45.127-05:002013-11-18T16:09:45.127-05:00PS - In many ways these issues apply just as stron...PS - In many ways these issues apply just as strongly to the bullies. They are often acting out behavior they see or experience, either at home or elsewhere. Many bullies at school are victims too. It's frightening.AimeeLSalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763596557256341788noreply@blogger.com
