The Children studying in the schools located in Massachusetts have been facing major bullying problems. In a new study, it has been confirmed that more than one-fourth of the total middle school children and around 16% of the children in the High School are regularly bullied.

The federal report has caused major concerns for the authorities, parents and children. During the study, the health authorities in Massachusetts for the first time ever included questions regarding the problems faced by children because of bullying. The main conclusion of the study was that there are behavioral and health damages done to the child. The violence at home and constant bullying makes the child more violent and destructive.

The Governor, Deval Patrick has introduced a law. According to the law, the bullying in schools has to be reported and investigated. The schools will be required to follow strict procedures to stop the bullying in their premises.

The authorities at the schools in the Massachusetts have assured that they will make sure that the bullying in the schools is immediately stopped. They also confirmed that they will work with the government officials to invent new preventive procedures for bullying. Hopefully the changes in the law will provide the required relief from bullying for the children, parents and authorities.

“Buffalo Bulldozes Bullying.” The catchy phrase has been selected as the city’s official anti-bullying slogan.

Students at the Emerson School of Hospitality on West Chippewa Street submitted the winning entry in a slogan contest.

The competition was part of an anti-bullying summit held in January. The forum brought together about 200 city school students, 100 educators and other interested people to discuss ways to prevent bullying.

The new awareness poster was unveiled Thursday in a ceremony at Main and Greenfield streets. Mayor Byron W. Brown thanked ATT, Lamar Advertising and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority for their involvement in the advertising blitz. He described raising awareness about bullying as critical and noted that the problem is a “very serious issue.”

Buffalo’s Commission on Citizens Rights and Community Relations has been sponsoring anti-bullying campaigns. Experts stressed that bullying can affect school attendance, grades and even graduation rates.
