Bully Alert!

Recent studies show that:
1 out of 4 kids is bullied.

Every 7 minutes a child is bullied. Adult intervention - 4%. Peer intervention - 11%. No intervention - 85%.

8% of students miss 1 day of school per month for fear of bullies.
77% of the students said they had been bullied.

More bullying occurs on school grounds than on the way to school.



These are statistics. I share them because I know we have had bullying situations here at Falconer. It's a very serious matter, and I think we should work together to stop it at Falconer.

What are your thoughts or suggestions about bullying? Why do people bully? What should we do to get rid of bullying behavior here at Falconer?
