"I am very interested in what you're doing to stop bullying. I see bullying as a very serious problem that needs a fix. I have seen too many kids get bullied and made fun of, and I myself am taking as big a part as I can to step in. I am no longer a bystander. Now I am the one who [steps in]when [I see bullying], and I praise people when I see them do good things. I see bullying as a societal problem, not just one confined to grade school. There are many different types of bullying and they can be found every where. From a hazing passed on from senior to freshmen every year, to pushing in the halls to even taunting in the business world. Bullying is a part of our lives right now but it doesn't have to be. We can rid ourselves of bullying." -Joe, High School Senior
