The Issue
Nearly one-third of all school-aged children are bullied each year in the U.S.
That's more than 13 million students being bullied every year. PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center receives hundreds of messages every year from all over the world describing the pain endured and the damage done by bullying.
The question always is..."What can I do?"
