Abstract: Bullying is becoming more of a problem here in Volusia County (“National”). The purpose of this research is to find suitable ways to help bullying in the Central Florida School Systems. A few of the schools in Volusia County are using a nonprofit organization called, “Preventing Bullying in Central Florida (“Florida”). An interview with one of the organization specialists showed that the bullying was lessened when using this program. However, many schools in Volusia County aren’t aware how big of a problem bullying can be. With that said most schools are ignoring the problem and considering it as a part of everyday life (“Florida”). This research was conducted because children should not have to go to school every day feeling like they are going to be threatened. An interview with an organization official and surveys were handed out to students at Deland High School. The outcome of the surveys and the interview is that there needs to be more awareness on bullying because a lot of people and students in the Central Florida School Systems do not know how to deal with the problem. The results told us that children and adults need more information about how to handle and intervene with certain situations.
Introduction:
Students are being verbally and physically bullied by their peers in the school systems. Children are struggling every day because of the effect bullying can have on them. Bullying is becoming a serious matter and children need to learn how to intervene and cope with the problem. The rationale behind this research is to try to understand bullying better and to find ways that the problem can be helped. A survey was handed out to high school students to gather information from students who might have experienced bullying and their thoughts on the problem. Also, an interview was conducted to find out how the effects of bullying are being
