Bullying and Depression in Children

 

According to ABC News, 160,000 children a day stay home from school because they are afraid of their bully.  Both boys and girls are equally distressed when bullied.

Now is a good time to look at the connection between bullies and suicide.  Suicide is the second leading cause of deaths in ages 5 to 25.  The leading cause is depression.1


Why are our children so depressed?

An Important Announcement

We get Facebook posts asking us to save grizzly bears, to stop pollution in our water, to stop using fossil fuels, but how many posts do you get to save America's women and children?

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is up before Congress for reauthorization. The bill was introduced in July, but its progress was waylaid by other things happening on Capitol Hill.

As of yet, there is little in the news about this bill, even though VAWA expires September 15, 2018.

America's women and children are in danger of no longer being protected from domestic violence, rape, and stalking. It is the government’s duty to protect its citizens, and if VAWA is allowed to expire, we will immediately see increased rates of these crimes against women.
