Parents can prevent their children from bullying by learning about their lives and why they are bullying, educating them about bullying, and helping them feel empathy. If parents pay close attention to their child’s life and make a point to help them with any problems they have, the child may bully less because their problems are being heard. Educating them about bullying can help them understand why is wrong, and make them see the victim's point of view. If they understand how hurtful bullying is to the victim, they are more likely to stop.

That's just the beginning of the story we will find out how he committed suicide at the end of the story. Jackson was getting bullied in school. Jackson lived in Raleigh county, West Virginia with his older sister and parents. His parents were devastated when their daughter found him dead one day after school in their back yard. This was going on far too long in school, but you also got to think that he did not tell anyone and if he did who ever he told did not listen.

It is up to everyone to be aware of kids who are getting bullied in order to stop it. If students at school held the example that bullying is not at all cool it would reduce greatly considering many of them copy their friends. As it is obvious many of the kids who commit suicide are so young more help should be sent out to them in order for them to escape the torment. Being that suicide happens more with younger kids that is why I feel like what we are doing now to stop bullying is not enough because many still have to do with it. If bullies saw the serious punishments it came with they would surely stop. All the kids need is someone there for them guiding them and telling them they are worth living. Some have no one in their life they can count on so giving them that love and caring would boost their

Monos informs us readers about school bullying. “Six Illinois Middle School student gathered to watch a child being beaten to the ground.” Why just stand there and do nothing that is the question when you could be helping someone that really need your help.

I could garanteded you the only way they will do something about it or take action is if it was a family
