I want to start this petition to try and get a mandatory class started in schools that will teach children about what bullying is. I want children to learn the effects of what bullying does and to teach children that it is ok to speak up and tell someone that they are being bullied and that they shouldn't be scared of having the courage to have a voice and stand up for themselves. We are losing children way too soon because they feel they have to deal with the bullying and I feel that if the children are more educated about bullying and the cause and effect of bullying then it would help children who are afraid to speak up about it.
