The Examiner online delves into the issue of bullying and suicide in a June article. The article also highlights interesting findings from BullyingandStatistics.org and discusses the various students across the Unites States who have taken their lives as a result of bullying. According to the findings, victims of bullying are two to nine times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims and bullying accounts for half of the suicides among young people. In addition, a shocking 160,000 kids have reported staying home from school every day due to fear of being bullied.
With PublicSchoolWORKS’ Student Bullying and Violence Prevention Program (SBVPP), districts have the ability to address both bullying and violence concerns. The program sets a precedence letting students know that bullying is not tolerated. In addition, it provides mechanisms for anonymously reporting incidents of bullying and student violence while streamlining and automating the process for administrators to track incidents through to resolution.
