With "blackout bullying" day upon us, it is time to take bullying seriously. This epidemic has led to numerous suicides and a rise in depression amongst teenagers, adults and even small children. Without punishment, bullying will continue to effect the lives of millions every day. Bullying and discrimination are what leads a nation to outcast someone because of the way they look or act. Sounds familiar right? Bullying must be stopped in its mildest forms before it leads to a type of disaster families have to deal with too often.

About time! People need to realize words have consequences. Maybe if jail was on the table these cowards would shut up.

My son went through this for years and the school did absolutely nothing. Laws need to change so these kids finally face real consequences.
