National effort to halt school bullying expands nationwide
A federal campaign with a $3.4 million budget will frame bullying as a public health issue and target students and adults who influence them. The effort, backed by 70 groups, aims to change culture in schools, train teachers, and use a website, animated episodes, and PSAs to curb bullying from physical to cyberbullying, focusing on ages nine to thirteen.
