This story has brought lots of issues to the forefront of the American consci...

Bullying is a common problem in today’s society. Children and teenagers mainly, are the ones that are most prone to bullying and insults directed at them for no apparent reason. This normally causes insecurities in many of our youths. Typically, the bullying comes from peers which makes it seem as though it stings a bit more.
