Bullying is a huge problem in many schools. There are several steps students can take to help stop this problem in their own school. One thing students can do is to participate in a school wide effort committed to speaking out against bullying. According to the author, research has shown that students who participate in anti-bullying programs in their schools are more likely to have empathy for students who experience bullying. One example of this is a poster contest my school had. The topic was "Stand up to Bullies". The contest seemed to make students really think about how hurtful bullying can be.
What are some ways students can help to stop bullying in their school?
