The right to feel safe
Dear Sam: My friend is being
bullied at school by an older student. I want to help but am afraid of
becoming the next target. What should I do?
From Scared
Dear Scared:
I understand why you feel afraid. The truth is adults are very aware of
the issue of bullying and much is being done to stop it. Once they know
of a specific situation, they will address the problem. Speak to your
teacher, your parents, your friend’s parents. Everyone has the right to
go to school and feel safe.
