Parents & Teachers Best Defense Against Bullying

ACKSONVILLE, N.C. - From skin color to shoe size chances are we were all on the receiving end of some teasing growing up.

Though when teasing turns to bullying it becomes a serious problem.

“Believe it or not it does happen again and again,” says Dr. John Shaloub, a retired guidance counselor from Onslow County.

“You always believe that schools can do more right,” I asked. “Schools can do more,” he answered, “administrations can do more, the board of education can do more, the superintendent can do more.”

Shaloub says you see kids act out, become frustrated with school, or even turn their anger inward.

Most recently a spike in suicides amongst gay youth.
