Bullying effects an estimate of 50-60% of all school students each day and is getting worse. Bullying can take many forms like the usual verbal bullying or playground fights. However, as these types of bullying are difficult to deal with, other forms are even harder. Most students who are bullied don't even report their situation, for being scared that it could just get worse if the person bullying them found out that they "tattled" on them. This seems like it may only be the case in elementary school but bullying issues go much farther than the playground.
Below is a link to a website with a lot of general information on bullying. Take a look, it may help you recognize some signs of people being bullied or maybe even of a bully so you can help do something about it.
