Answer: Arizona has a new law that requires schools to have policies on bullying, harassment and intimidation. The message is clear: create an environment where bullying is not tolerated. Each school is required to have a procedure for students, parents and teachers to confidentially report bullying behavior to a school official to trigger investigation, punishment and prevention of further bullying behavior. (A.R.S. § 15-341). If the bullying acts threaten or actually cause injury to a person or property, then more severe penalties are called for and carried out under Arizona’s criminal laws. (A.R.S. § 13-2911).

On 11/08/09 ASL from AL said: You are not educated. Go to school and read lots of books in your free time. Talk to people or seek help from a church or therapist if you are having anger issues and can't resolve them yourself. But probably the most important thing is you aren't self reflective.

On 02/19/09 GH from AZ said: You should think about how you felt when people bullied you. If you didnt like it, then think about the people who youre being really mean to. Is it fair to take you anger out on them, because of what happend to you in the past?
On 02/09/09 from AL said: Why have you become mean? Just because you have gone thru some hurt in your life doesn't mean you have make other people go thru the same things. And just because you are "popular" doesn't mean anything. I think you should be nicer than before, and move past your problems. I'm sure you could be pressed with charges if the bullying got far enough.
