You might think that intimidation and harassment is just how kids play around, but these behaviors have very real consequences. Medical and developmental studies show that children who have been bullied and harassed suffer a slew of mental and physical ailments: lost self-esteem and confidence, increased anxiety, alienation from their environment, increased absenteeism, lowered aspirations and reduced academic achievement. Unfortunately, the problem only gets worse students have more to fear than abusive classmates. The hostile environments fostered in our schools dont always start with the kids, in fact, in 20 states in this Union it is legal to HIT KIDS as a form of discipline. That is right. It is still legal in America, the only industrialized nation on the planet where it is in fact still legal. It is not legal to hit prisoners, but it is to hit students. With a hand, a paddle or whatever.
