Today in our school and many schools around the nation bullying between students can be seen and is present. 1 in 3 U.S. students say they have been bullied at school, according to the DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services)*
” I see a lot of bullying and hatred in the halls,” ninth grader Fern Loughridge said.
At the junior high if any student is being bullied or sees bullying students are directed and have the option to go and talk to one of several guidance counselors where help will be given to find a way to stop the bullying. Several students at the junior high had opinions about bullying and how it is handled.
At any time if a student at the junior high is being bullied or witnesses it, they are able to go and talk to one of the many counselors at the junior high to seek help.

This is a great topic to be talking about in school. I personally, think bullying is a huge problem and in our school we need to take more action when bullying occurs.
