Hey 'squash-da-bully' nation!!!  I recently read that in Florida two girls had bullied another girl who ended up killing herself.  Bullying is real and it's causing harm to our youth. Check out the link below if you want to learn more about the details.  I believe we all need to speak up.  Studies show that 1 out of 3 youths have been bullied and only 1 out of 10 will tell a parent.  Keeping things bottled up can lead to devastating consequences like depression and illness, and sometimes suicide.  Please feel free to post your views on this and express your feelings or concerns on this blog.
