In 2008, I was employed as a Family Specialist covering adolescents with behavioral probleems due to mental health disorders as FLORIDA ENACTED THEIR BULLYING LAW.
Florida’s bullying law is concise, comprehensive and taken seriously.
One bit of advice that I gave vmy students was to report any harrassment, bullying and unwanted comments. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART WAS TO DOCUMENT (make a list of the day, time and person the student reported the problem to). BULLYING ALSO COVERS TEACHERS AND DISTRICT PERSONEL.
I was so excited for this event and fully support the anti-bullying movement. I even posted my own submission video for the livecast they did. Incredible work!
