Earlier this week, we posted an article relating to where the highest incidents of bullying are taking place.

This is another reason why the Rainbow Rabbit stresses that our programs are necessary at a young age before it’s too late to teach tolerance and acceptance among young children.

It seems even Major League Baseball has gotten involved to some degree in regards to anti-bullying.

Bullying Victim Shot

Sometimes, those being bullied take matters into their own hands. However, it’s an oddity to see the bullying victim being shot by an officer at his school.

Bullying Can Have Harmful Long-Term Effects

Bullying is a systematic abuse of power defined as aggressive behavior and intentional harm-doing by peers, that is carried out repeatedly and involves some sort of victimization.
