thoughts from a guidance counselor

These thoughts were sent to me from an elementary guidance counselor.

It is my opinion that bullying can come in many shapes and forms. A school must address it from all different levels and, really, it is is an ongoing conversation. Will we ever completely eliminate bullying?
Of course not. However, it is something that should be emphasized and addressed in terms of "how we treat others" by classroom teachers, guidance, administration, etc. at all times. In doing so, issues of bullying will be much less if the school takes this team approach.
