Tell us your ideas about preventing bullying — and dealing with it when it does occur. Do you think laws like the one in New Jersey will help reduce instances of bullying? What do you think teachers and schools can do to improve school culture and reduce bullying? What approaches do you think can be effective? Do you see this problem getting better, worse or staying about the same in your school or community?

My idea of preventing bullying  is teaching kids to stand up for themselves. Also  finding the ones that are doing the bullying and talk to them to find out why they do the things they do because most bully's that mess with the weaker have a problem with in because they need to feel like there higher then other and it takes away from the problems they have.
