Bullying

One method of resolving bullying is to tell an adult or teacher. This isn't classified as "tattle talling" or "ratting someone out." By not telling anyone that someone is being bullied, that person may not come to school and fall behind in their school work. About 15% of students being absent is due to bullying(http://www.parentingbookmark.com/pages/articleMB04.htm) If a student being bullyed talks to and adult or teacher, that student can make sure that bully recieves their consequence in a controlled and safe environment.
