Westlane Addressing Bullying - Please read

I think that bullying should be taken more seriously on all levels. With technology these days the kids can more easily bully other students and spread around quickly. If a student comes to someone to complain about being bullied.. It takes a lot of guts for a student to come forward to someone they are supposed to trust and rely on getting the support they need and have the matter dealt with. Especially knowing it's going to bring more attention to them and feel that coming forward may make it worse. Consequences should be very stiff for these actions so that they know the ramifications of the offense. Every accusation should be taken seriously. I was bullied in school on numerous occasions.. It can totally have a huge affect on a students progress in school. Even to the point of dropping out.
