YOU CAN HELP!! Senator Larkin is sponsoring a bill called the Successful, Safe and Healthy Schools Act It is designed to help end Mean Girl Bullying. It's easy to send a message to your Senators and Representatives on this website and ask for their support of the bill. Quote from the website. "Bullying can take many forms, but girls are more likely to use behaviors like shunning, taunting, spreading rumors, and betraying a confidence, both online and offline. Teachers and parents tend to write off these behaviors as a “part of growing up,” but the impact is severe. Girls say technology allows them to treat their peers more cruelly, without having to see the immediate response to their behavior. 38% of girls worry about their emotional safety when spending time with their peers. Cyberbullying starts as early as second grade, and 85% of middle-school students say they’ve been cyberbullied at least once." Thanks for your support of this important legislation.
