Stop Bullying!

Policies and Laws

Bullying is perhaps something that we are all familiar with. Some of us may have been bullied in the past, others may have been the bullies and some have been bystanders, nevertheless, it is likely you know someone who has been a victim of bullying. In recent years a new type of bullying has emerged known as cyber bullying.

States have taken action and established laws and policies in order to help diminish the bullying. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services 2012, "Through laws (in their state education codes and elsewhere) and model policies (that provide guidance to districts and schools), each state addresses bullying differently".

In the state of California, both laws and policies have been implemented to address the issue of bullying. This article provides a breakdown of all the states' regulations for bullying. I am thankful that finally bullying is being addressed by the law.

  1. The link you shared about the anti-bullying laws was very interesting! Thanks for sharing. I didn't know how much work has been put into creating these policies and laws. It's sad to see that it's a big problem now, especially with the rise of technology.
