Crowd of Over 50 Teens Overrun Police in Attempt to Assault Victim at Home
It seems that these days bullying stories have sadly become pretty common in the news.
This does not mean we should stop writing about them or that they are less important. On the contrary, the only way we are going to be able to successfully address the issue of bullying is by continuing to highlight the reality that kids face these days.
Take for example a girl in Staten Island who was bullied by not 1 or 2 other students, but a crowd of 50-55 teens who showed up at her door step with guns, blades, and knives to start a fight...... more
