MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - Bullying has unfortunately become a widespread problem across the country for kids and adults alike. According to stopbullying.gov, 28% of students nationwide in grades 6–12 experienced bullying, and 20% of students in grades 9–12.

Bullying can come in many forms, especially with the rise of technology and cyber-bullying, and can have lasting physical, emotional, and psychological effects. It is a very easy thing to prevent though. By just being kind to one another, and standing up for other people who are being bullied, the problem can be erased from our schools, work places, and everyday life.

So do your part to build people up, instead of breaking them down.
