A deep look at bullying at schools across the United States
My interview with an author and teacher who speaks about the issue
In just the last month in Mid-Michigan there have been several incidents of children committing suicide.
In two of those incidents, parents claim bullying was a factor in the suicide.
I dig deep into bullying with author and former teacher Rebecka Vigus.
In an era dominated by academic pursuits and social development, schools have become the breeding grounds for an insidious epidemic - bullying. It's a menace that transcends borders, affecting students from all walks of life. As we grapple with the consequences of this silent crisis, parents and teachers are called upon to join forces to eradicate bullying from our educational institutions.

Behind the laughter and camaraderie in school corridors lies a dark underbelly of silent suffering. Bullying, in its various forms - verbal, physical, and cyber - inflicts deep wounds on the psyches of the young minds it targets. Recent studies have revealed alarming statistics, indicating that a significant percentage of students experience some form of bullying during their academic journey.
