“Wah, wah-wah-wah! Wah-wah Wah. Wah. Wah. Wah!”
Come on! Focus!
It’s just… So hard! The guy speaking at the front of the room sounds like a Charlie Brown phone call…
My eyes feel heavy… This is so flipping boring! Look! There’s an ant crawling up the wall! Hey, it kind of blends in with the ceiling tile! I wonder how many ceiling tiles there are in here anyway…

Here’s a quote from the article:
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio sent a letter to school superintendents around the state Thursday, urging them to adopt proactive bullying prevention plans.
The ACLU’s letter comes after several months of increased incidents of students across Ohio and the nation bullied by others. In particular, the ACLU encouraged schools to implement policies on how to address bullying when reported, education programs to prevent bullying, and comprehensive training for staff on how to handle bullying when it arises.
We’ve finally reached the last post in our series about how to take a stand against bullying! Today we’re going to talk about one final topic:
You see someone getting bullied. What do you do? Remain silent? Figure that the target has it under control?
Both of those options are bad. The victims of bullying often feel that they are responsible for what’s happening to them. They believe that it’s somehow their fault that they’re being bullied.
That just isn’t true.

We’ve been talking about how to take a stand against bullies. We’re almost finished with the series!
Today we’re going to cover:
Cyberbullying is a big deal. In the last post I mentioned that bullies like to pick on people when they’re alone. Sticking together in a group with your friends is an effective way to take a stand!
With cyberbullying, you can be targeted at any time and any place!
Cyberbullying is basically the same as regular bullying. It just has the power of the internet behind it!
Fortunately, cyberbullying is fairly easy to take a stand against! There are a lot of tools in place to help you with this. Many people aren’t aware of the options they have available!
