What is bullying? A 'bully' is defined by Webster's dictionary as a person who teases, hurts, or threatens smaller or weaker persons.
According to Pacer.org, one out of every four students report being bullied during the school year, while 64% of those being bullied never even report it.
Bullying is a very serious issue in our schools and society today. Someone who has been bullied is at a higher risk for depression, severe anxiety, difficulties with sleeping and adjusting to school.
It can also cause people to have health problems such as headaches and stomachaches.
We will be learning more about Bullying at the dojo this month… including, what it is and also what to do if it is happening to you or your classmates.
