Description
Summary:"Bullying has become a much-talked-about topic in Baltimore City and throughout the state of Maryland as well as the country at large...One should not be naive regarding some complexities of what bullying is, including threatening or covertly intimidating messages sent through internet social networking. This component again argues for due diligence in assessing the problem and articulating rules and laws to combat it...The bottom line is that the juvenile versions of assault, battery, and harassment must be treated seriously, fairly, and firmly. Our children should not be forced to experience their school years as a life of constantly living in panic and fearing for their safety." (USA Today (Farmingdale)) This article is a commentary on school bullying.
