No child should leave home being afraid of what will happen in the halls of any Utah school. It’s time that bullying be stopped in our schools. If it requires action in the legislature then so be it. Those who Bully should feel the consequences of their behavior. Teachers as well should be helds accountable.

#17 by Stephanie Olson at February 7th, 2006
I think this is wonderful! I grew up at a school that had a lot of separation between the rich and the poor, it was a total statis school! While I was never really picked on, I saw things that shouldn’t have taken place! I think that more people need to be informed and more people need to take action! Thank you for doing this!
#18 by Ellen Davis at February 15th, 2006
I totally support this resolution. As a former teacher, I believe our schools should be a safe place for our children. The students should not have to be concerned about being intentionally hurt by bullies.
#19 by Jessica Devenish at February 26th, 2006
I absolutely support this bill ~ and commend legislative representatives for listening and taking it to the streets. I believe it’s important for the “bullies” to learn & understand that parents, teachers, officials, and adults in general are aware that it exists and it will NOT be tolerated in any form.
#20 by Lrae Burgess at February 28th, 2006
I am totally for this bill. I just wish that there would be more punishment for this act! My daughter has been bullied most of the year and nothing has been accomplished quite yet. I am getting very tired of waiting for my daughter to come home with a bloody nose just so that the school administration can do something. It effects every aspect of their life and the parents as well. Please get stricter policies into the schools!!

Bullying stops here.

Students in my classrooms where bullying me. They copied the Teachers so it does
happen. Bullying is a learned behavior.
People should say sorry in this world and owe up for their mistake. no one is
perfect. and you might get in trouble a little bit if at all. But if you lie
you get in big trouble.
By Mistake I bumped into the main teacher and a teacher aid came and body
checked me and this is bullying. we should not allow teachers to get away with
this.
Treat people how you like to be treated. and its not nice when you hurt people.
The Teacher aid said was how do you like it?
I said I didn’t mean too. I said sorry.
The Unions need to do something and Bring Justice and Improve the school
systems world wide. they should not hind behind the rules.
Unions should protect Staff and Students.
Teachers and school staff should not hide behind the rules.
They should be professionals and follow the professional code of conduct.
They should be nice.
Lieing is wrong.
I don’t like it when People Lie. I been through a lot of people lieing in this
world. Its not fair when people lie and they don’t belive you.
I don’t like it one bit.
People should take responsibility for their own behavior.
People should not bully it hurts badly.
People should put them self’s in other people’s shoes.
People should not hurt people’s feelings.
Bullying is not healthy for the victim and the bully.
Bullies think it will boost their self esteem it does not.
Teachers Unions needs to do
something about some bullying teachers thanks.
They also should make it be required for a staff to report a teacher to the union.
They need to do something about this.
This can’t go on anymore like this.
We feel very helpless in schools and its not a good feeling.
Thanks!!!!!
Teachers say oh I didn’t see anything and lie and this is bullying. Bullying is
a learned Behavior.
Teachers say oh I didn’t see anything?
This is Bullying and teachers can get away with it!
Its not fair. Its not nice.
We Need to do something.
You have a legal right to go to a safe school.
Bullying is a Learned Behavior.
Roz rolled her eyes at my mom its not nice.
Its not your Fault when you get bullied.
When you tell on Teachers they think you are lieing when its the other way
around the teachers are lieing.
You don’t have to Put up with it.
Bullies and Bystanders and Victims need help.
Reach out to get help to people who care about your well being and safety.
We need to put a end to Bullying, it hurts.
A Teacher aid said to me she is going to feed me like a baby when I am in high
school with my pills.
I can feed my self this is Bullying!
You need to be role Models.
Bullying is not a nice thing to do to people.
Bullying is a learned Behavoir.
People have a right to feel safe!
I got hurt by teacher aids, a teacher aid body checked me.
People should not bully its a wrong thing to do.
I want all teachers to know to treat people how you like to be treated thanks.
Its not fair to bully people.
I got Anxiety and confused because of teachers bullying me and a teacher aid
stamped her foot. Be Professionals.
A school bus driver hit my face when I was little.
Nothing
Happens.
We are helpless in schools.
Stop bullying.
A Teacher aid Body
Checked me.
This is bullying.
Please help us
thanks.
we need to hold the school accountable, they don’t listen.
They
shut their ears to bullying when teachers do it to the kids.
They tell us not to bully but they do it to us when they get impatient.
Please put a stop to abuse thanks and
bullying.
Teachers Lie and They Protect them Self’s.
School Staff Protects
their workers.
They need to be role models and show respect and care and
love.
They need to be on the same laws.
They enforce laws and they need to
be on the same laws.
Teachers and school staff can run and hide, Students
can’t.
A Teacher aid put me in time out and he force me into time out and my
nose bleed.
That teacher only said sorry but other teachers didn’t.
He Put me in time out because I was cold and I didn’t want to take my coat off.
School
staff and students need to go to a secure and safe
school.
My Brother Jeff got bullied when he was in school and the Parents and school
didn’t do anything about it, it happens to people in school, not just my brother.
We need to do something.
Bullying Hurts. Teachers Unions don’t allow teachers to get away with
this, if you want to curb bullying this is the only way to go to stop
it completely.
Some schools are mean and Teachers.
When I was on Pro boards, I got a death threat from someone and they said they
want to hit me with a baseball bat.
Take 5. and Don’t make the Problem worse and write back.
I was an admin of Pro boards and I got a death threat.
This is Cyber bullying.
and I deleted my account.
Bullies want power over their victims.
We need to stop bullying, it makes every one sad and me too.
We want Personal Space that’s our humanly Right to have.
When My mom wrote notes in the Agenda Book to the teachers, they miss read it
and get
mad.
My Mom is a wonderful Activist for me. But when my mom does they get mad at me.
A teacher Aid Wrote Capital Letters in my Agenda Book because it was her fault
she made me get confused when she bullied me.
And this is not OK.
A Secretary said to me your mom is getting mad over nothing.
It is Something big.
Moms and dads should be activists.
This is bullying.
The end.
We need to do something.
People should say sorry. its much better to say sorry.
