High School Bullying

Our team travels all across the USA and Canada speaking to students on bullying. When it comes to high schools it's unbelievable how they feel about bullying. I get "it's not a problem in HS”,


I'm the English teacher if you have a bullying problem go see the councilor.

High school teachers I find are set up into their departments so when it comes to bullying no one wants to take responsibility.

This is not a slam against teachers it's just a fact that I see from high school to high school.

Now when it comes to reducing bullying in middle or elementary schools the entire community gets on board.

I cannot say this enough times, bullying happens everywhere and it doesn’t stop in high school. Do you know how many times I hear about workplace bullying?

Ladies and gentlemen until we make that paradigm shift in understanding bullying is a community problem we'll never stop this epidemic.
