Despite all the talk and supposed education on bullying, it has not gotten better. If anything, it is worse. In my daughter’s first year of high school, she was slapped in the face during class, and the teacher did nothing. In another class, a boy constantly told her to kill herself; the teacher knew and did nothing. These are some of the reasons why my daughter’s anxiety and depression became extreme and why she consistently refused to go to school.
