Preventing Bullying in Schools

Bullying is something that's been in the news a lot lately because of a series of high profile suicides. Earlier this month some parents in the Mentor School District filed suit after four students committed suicide in a span of two years -- all had been bullied. The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program has been shown to remarkably reduce bullying in schools where it's implemented. Paulie Velotta is a trainer who works with schools across Ohio, including Mentor. She spoke with ideastream®'s Eric Wellman.
