Sitka Girl Scouts take on bullying

Bullying…according to numerous reports, it’s on the rise in America’s schools. School districts are responding by tightening their anti-bullying policies. But new technologies are taking bullying underground, making it harder for teachers and administrators to police their halls. The Tongass Alaska Girl Scout Council recently took a look at a very specific segment of bullying - violence among girls - during their annual conference, held in Sitka.

    I think alot of it starts at home, are parents aware of what’s going on? Do they ask questions?
    Remember the old saying do onto others as thay do onto you, nobody wants to have their child to feel threatened,parents need to teach their kids about non violent behavior and be more involved so that they are more aware of what’s going on at school, talk to them not just about homework but their social enviornment as well…
