I think this article is a real piece of work. To say that none of these suicides happened because of bullying is wrong. They are trying to make there school district sound perfect by basically saying there is no bullying there. Maybe not all of the suicides were an act from being bullied, but you don't know what else would give them reason. Students often do not report bullying issues, because they are afraid that the bullying will get worse. What they do not realize is that it can only get better if they report it. Then it is put upon the educators shoulders to make sure that the situation is handled and stopped. If we do not provide schools with enough information and training in these situations, the bullying will never stop, and our students will still be in danger. I think it is very sad for this school district to be denying the suicides were not partially a result of bullying. And I am sorry for the students in that school district who may not be getting the help they need from their educators. Bullying is a problem everywhere, and you cannot deny that it doesn't happen even when you have a no bullying policy.
