Balancing Act: Our heads are firmly out of the sand on bullying

Elizabeth Prewitt PACEsConnection writer 6/3/1412:00 PM

Safe and supportive schools help mitigate the impact of ACEs. There is both good news and bad news.

It's hard to imagine a starker good news/bad news scenario than the one spelled out in a new national study on bullying.

First, the good: The number of students in 6th through 10th grades who reported being bullied at least twice in a month fell from 16.5 percent in 1998 to 7.5 percent in 2010, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine.

….the number of students carrying weapons to school jumped to 14.8 percent in 2010 from 12.2 percent in 1998.
