Bullying has existed for ages in the schools, but the kids of this age who bully can hurt their victims not just at school but at home through Facebook and other social media(excellent tools if they are used properly). Kids and others pick on  other children for a variety of reasons: size(big and small), gender, sexual orientation, religion, race and many other reasons. This week, and in recent times, victims of bullying have taken their own lives. The federal government has a website- StopBullying.gov and a campaign to help end bullying and provide help or ways to help others for kids, young adults, teens, parents and the community.
