Reform bullies in school. Provide opportunity for positive interventions to bullies. Create consequences for bullies and laws against repeat bully offenders. Possibly initiate three strike rule with a zero tolerance for bullies.
Why is this important?
I am interested in reforming bullies in our school system. There are many resources available to the victims; however there is a huge lack of education and resources available to parents, schools and children in reforming a bully. In order to find a solution, we have to find out more, and provide a higher success rate at stopping that behavior. There currently are no interventions nor consequences for bullies. Parents of bullies should also at some point be held accountable i.e. like Florida's Truancy Law. Our children our the future of our world. Victims of bullies are in pain, but so are the bullies. In order to create change, we must provide the opportunity for all parties to have the necessary resources available.
