According to the U.S. Department of Education, one in five students between the ages of 12 and 18 are victims of bullying. Many incidents go unreported due to shame, fear of retaliation or belief that no one will help. These young people suffer serious consequences, such as physical, emotional and social distress that lasts into adulthood. Bullying is not limited to the school setting, but is found in the home, the workplace and within social circles. State legislation has been enacted, school policies are in place and anti-bullying campaigns abound. So why is bullying in schools trending upward? How would more attention on the person inflicting the bullying change the equation? How can young people be empowered to find their voice to report and stand against bullying?
