Schools Take Action Against Bullying

August 15, 2007 | Kathryn Mobley

Across the Triad, administrators are gearing up for a new school year. And one issue they're primed to tackle is bullying. During the 2006-2007 school year, about 19% of Forsyth County 's 5th graders reported having been bullied - roughly the same percentage as the year before. In that same period in Guilford County, about 9% of elementary students K-5 reported being verbally and/or physically bullied, intimidated or harassed. The year before, that number was 20%.
