Several months ago, we discussed the suicide of Brandy Vela, the teenager from Texas who took her own life in front of her family after being bullied relentlessly in school and online.

One of the lessons in our Rainbow Rabbit Anti-Bullying Educational Program is called Witnessing Bullying Situations. In the lesson, students are taught how to address/handle various bullying situations by utilizing strategies.

Over the last four months, Anthony Rizzo has shown that he’s a world champion on and off the field.

Although this should surprise nobody, a recent study shows that bullying not only has an effect on a child emotionally, but academically as well.
