This is from a while back but I saved it because I felt it was important. Bullying is a big deal, its a serious issue for many kids. I was once on both sides of this, I have been bullied and I have bullied. I can't say I am proud of either of those times in my life.
I think that this texting idea is really great. Some people are afraid to be a tattle tale. Nobody wants to be seen as the kid telling an adult cause it could give them a bad rap. But this new texting thing could workout. When a kid has been bullied they can text an administrator about it, I think that's a good idea except what happens when a kid is texting during class and they get caught. Now an easy escape goat is that they can say oh I was texting an administrator about bullying, even though they weren't. How would we keep them from doing that? I think that this idea overall is a good idea but they will have to find ways to work out the kinks otherwise texting could become a bigger problem than it already is.
