Bullying and popularity

Interesting, new research as we continue to seek ways to stop this epidemic. However, I know the real solution.  Only when an entire school, school district, community creates a culture of no bullying.  Schools routinely give lip service to anti-bullying with fancy programs and curriculum but it only works when every last adult from principal down to custodian and cafeteria worker creates and cultivates an environment of zero tolerance.  Schools continue to make more elaborate and rationalizing excuses instead of doing the difficult job of complete culture change.  It’s not a program, it’s a complete cultural overhaul that every adult involved in and around a school should be dedicated to do.  A few are doing it… sadly, most are not.
