Bullying is a huge and unfortunate reality for many of our children. Bullying is aggressive behavior from one person towards another person who is perceived to be less powerful. According to the American Society for the Positive Care of Children (American SPCC), 160,000 children skip school each day due to bullying. 28% of students in grades 6-12 in the United States have been bullied, and an estimated 30% of young adults have admitted to bullying.
