Every day high school students are bullied; there is no discrimination for bullying. Boys and girls alike experience this from ages 14 to 18. This is a problem that high schools fail to recognize. Most schools are aware of bullying, but don't do anything to stop it. What they don't know, is that there are things they could do to stop it.
