I saw this on Mr. Bogosian's site the other day, and last night I saw Ellen on the Anderson Cooper show on CNN, so I decided to share it with everyone. As you know, and some know too well unfortunately, bullying is something that is becoming more prevalent in classrooms today. Even more so, bullying has taken a nasty step into the cyber world, and is now something that exists on Facebook, MySpace and text messages.
There have been many tragedies the last year stemming from bullying, with children, as young as thirteen years old, have decided that the only resolution was to hurt themselves, or even worse. Recently, a teenager committed suicide because he was being bullied online. This needs to stop, and very, very quickly.
Ellen Degeneres, host of the Ellen show, has decided to take action. Ellen, a victim of hated and bullying when she announced her life choice to the world, has had enough, and is coming out strong against bullying.
As always, let me know what you think. And, due to the sensitive nature of this material, please be respectful in your comments.
