The Issue

The way we look at bullying in society may not give all the answers. The difficulty comes in defining bullying. Ending the issue of bullying is also not an easy task, as it requires more than just punishing the bullies. It requires a unified voice of support, to empower victims; and education to shed further light on the issue.
