When asked for advice on how to deal with bullying,
Barbara Coloroso often quotes an anonymous
Holocaust survivor who said, "Pay attention, get
involved, and never, ever look away." The lessons we
must take from school tragedies over the past several
years are the same. Pay attention—bullying occurs in
all schools. Get involved—with the bully, the bullied,
and the bystander; each has a role. And never look
away—grown-ups tend to dismiss bullying, which
according to Coloroso is a grave mistake

Bullying is not going away:
Bullying appears to be on the
rise. A follow-up study by Dan
Olweus in 2002 showed the
percentage of victimized
students had increased by
50%. Serious bullying by
degree and frequency was up
by 65%.
The number one reason
adolescent boys and girls gave
for being targeted for abuse is “I
don’t fit in”.
Approximately 160,000 school
children stay home each day
out of fear, often without telling
their parents why.
