Today we talked about bullying in middle schools. It's a problem that happens to a lot of kids, which affects their self esteem, resulting in the possibility of children internalizing these problems for the rest of their lives. This has recently become an epidemic that needs to be stopped, or at least addressed a lot more than it is.
We talked about a few specific cases in which students were bullied in school, and the kids (both boys and girls, but the focus seemed to be more on girls) who were brave enough to speak out about it were ridiculed by their peers
Then we talked about possible solutions to this problem that seems to be growing, especially with cyberbullying through interfaces like facebook or twitter, or even myspace, AIM, tumblr, reddit, etc.
