Bullying Prevention Grades 6-12

We all know that bullying is a major issue for people of all ages, from the day we are born until the day we die, we will all discover bullying. Even when we are out of school and don't think that we would be bullied by adult peers, it happens, it is a way of life for people. We have discussed in class how anti bullying is included in early education, but there is little to no discussion of it in upper level grades and especially in adulthood. Especially in high school bullying becomes mainly cyberbullying and it is when parents aren't able to see it along with teachers. Teachers and parents are not as open to being on the social media sites that students use and therefore may not even notice that the bullying is occurring. The link that I'm providing is to a curriculum for teachers to use for grades 6-12 nd it mainly focuses on cyberbullying.
