Introduction
Bullying is a problem in our nation. The 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) indicates that 20% of students in grades 9–12 experienced bullying nationwide.
Bullying can happen to anyone. Bullying behavior can target shy or quiet students or the class tough guy. No one characteristic determines who will be bullied. Someone who was forced one day might be the person who makes fun of the shy girl the next day. Students who drive can be any size, age, grade, race, or gender. In this lesson, you’ll learn about different kinds of bullying, the effects of bullying, and methods for preventing and stopping bullying.
