Reading lists from our programs on books. Tell us what you think, offer suggestions. And it is not school shootings, for all the press they have received and are receiving, that we want to make the topic on this show today. This is a phenomenon that is everywhere - is not respecter of economic class, school location, gender or geography. Bullying has been a presence, as long as there have been schools, and as long as there are some children who are bigger and meaner than others.
Bullying is a form of violence.
It is an assault on rights. And by definition it visits the weakest. Adults that are listening to this show may have stories from their past they would like to give us. We'd like teachers to call as well. Finally there may be some in high school or junior high that are dealing with this, sadly, as first hand.
