Will tougher anti-bullying laws make a difference?

Yes, as long as the parents of the victims are willing and able to hold the bully, the bully's parents and the school accountable in a legally appropriate way.

I think anti-bullying laws and programs should be key. Our children should feel SAFER at school than we adults do as we go through our daily lives.

This is issue for the most schools,I believe.The worst part of bullying that it now begins in 1st-2nd grade.And in some cases luck of Principal leadership, covered by the words " politically correct diversity"stands on the way of handling it. I hope.

Yes I do because it needs to stop and I have watched teachers principles stand outside their classroom and watch this happen and do nothing

in my school, it doesnt really make a diference. but what did make a difference was having rewards. for instance, every twenty days we have a special party students who havnt gotten any refferals can participate in during lunch time

Without the laws, I'm afraid it would be even worse. But bullying seems to be so insidious. Bullies know how to fly below the radar so well. This problem is so hard to deal with, leaving the situation seems to be the only way out.

It's the parents of the bully who raised their kid to be like that.

No. This law like many others are going to broken. Just because it's a law isn't going to make a kid not be a bully. What are we going to do, suspend the bully? Expel? Jail? Please, having a law isn't going to cause less bullying.
