Bullying in School

Bullying in schools has became a very big issue.  Children have always bullied one another but it's getting worse.  With today's society, all the bullying and violence has become much worse.  There are worse gangs around and mostly more weapons.  If people are fighting each other when it's other, it usually begins with bullying as children in elementary schools.  Bullying just became a big concern, people in the past didn't really care for it before.  They thought that since all children have been bullied or bullied other children, that it was just a phase and it would go away.  But I believe that it should stop and it won't stop unless we try to help stop it.  Every state in the U.S. needs to pass a law to stop bullying.  But I wonder how they can pass a law to stop children from making rue remarks.  Children always say mean things to each other but it needs to stop.  As of 2003, 15 states have passed laws to stop bullying.  The definition of bullying varies in many states but it comes from the same basis which is the same as harassment and intimidation.  In 6 states, when people see bullying going on, they have to report it to the police.  The school officials stated that children who are being harassed can not learn in that kind of environment.  The procedure for the laws in school has a detailed guide for how to enhance the discipline strategies.  It always has a plan on how to respond to complaints by parents of those who get punished because of bullying.  Also every school needs to have a go-to person that is there for children who are getting bullied on how to handle the pain and the teacher all have to take a course on how to help stop bullying in the classroom.  I believe that there needs to be an end for bullying.  There are too many young children who are committing suicide because they cannot take the humiliation of the bullying that is happening to them.
