Bullyproof

Bullying. It takes on many forms. It can be the schoolyard pushing and shoving as portrayed in 80's movies, or it can be spreading rumors via Instagram or Snapchat. Bullying can be face-to-face, or it can be through the Internet or text message. It can be name calling, or it can be ignoring. In the next seven minutes, an American child will be bullied at school. Chances are that teachers will not be able to intervene. Only 1 in 9 children will help their peer. The rest will stand by, watching, or possibly filming it to upload to social media.
