Bullying in high school is a serious problem, and there can be some confusion on how to handle it. Some people may think that just ignoring the behavior will make it go away. In fact, many adults give that same advice to teenagers who are experiencing bullying. However, evidence suggests that ignoring the behavior could be detrimental and even dangerous to the victim. If a child is being continually harassed at school, and the bully is never held accountable, then it’s very likely that the bullying will get worse. Attaboy Assemblies knows that it’s important to face bullying head-on and to stop ignoring the problem.
