More and more parents report bullying

Although students are continuing to be bullied at school, their parents are also taking more defensive action. An article from the Los Angeles Times followed one particular girl’s story. Gizelle Studevent, 17, can recall when harassment from bullies began. At 13 years old, Studevent was suggested to return back to her native country, Mexico. Along with being teased for her ethnic background, Studevent was also mocked for her basketball skills. “I would go home and cry every day,” Studevent said. Many parents of bullied children have begun filing lawsuits against schools, while administrators have been taking stronger action against bullying. In addition, anti-bullying programs have begun to circulate in schools.
