Hi Nichole Many thanks for your comments. Yes, the topic of bullying is relevant to both the students and the school faculty, I think. As to how to educate them? It depends on the school. Some "rough" schools will probably not benefit from a softly-softly approach, they should instroduce a zero-tolderance policy (which I've mentioned before). There are many subtopics that could be taught, but I think it's important to show both sides, both the bully and the victim. Some kids bully because they have actually got less self-esteem than the victim and it's their way of feeling better about it. You have to show all sides of the story to truly expose the horror of bullying. Good luck with your studies! Best, - Gina
