Bullying

I am trying to figure out an effective series of interventions to implement at a middle school/high school level to really change the bullying dynamics. I have found curriculums out there but they are more directed at elementary ages. It's interesting to me how people either do not see bullying or label it as inevitable/a rite of passage. (despite a significant body of research that says otherwise, and despite the tragedies that happen at schools nationally). Hopefully the Ohio state law will have a meaningful impact, but I am afraid that people will only give it lip service, or that they will hide what is going on (since they have to place the statistics on their school websites, I have to believe that some districts will not want to fully disclose, as that will change how they are perceived.)
