ABSTRACT

We need to see the unmistakable relationship between juvenile homicide and suicide and repressed rage from years and years of bullying, taunting, intimidation, isolation, and abuse by classmates taking place within our schools in this country. Bullying has become a national disease, an epidemic reaching record proportions with kids, from preschoolers to teens. Thousands and thousands of children stay home from school each day, terrified of humiliation or worse at the hands of bullies or violent crimes within our schools.
