bullying

It's hard for me to imagine that something like this really happens. A dad from Idaho Falls has shared a Facebook post pleading for an end to bullying after his 7-year-old son was harassed.

Utah lawmakers are working through a new law that could send online bullies to jail for up to one year.

Today is the first day of school in Twin Falls. So, naturally parents are thinking about bully problems. Parents have every right to be concerned.

We see statistics all the time and, frankly, most of them are meaningless lists. However, I saw one stat today that is troubling for those of us in Idaho. If the numbers are to be believed, Idaho has a problem with bullying.

CASTLEFORD, Idaho (KLIX)- Castleford students and the Twin Falls County Sheriff were on a mission this week to stamp out bullying. The Twin Falls County Sheriff’s office announced that the Castleford School District marked this week as “Anti-Bully Week.”

Bullying has become a HUGE issue in our schools. A lot of parents are holding their breath while their children our in school. What's more nerve racking is that many children are telling their parents nothing is going on, and in realty, they are being bullied everyday! Social media and cell phones have made bullying a lot different from when we were in school. Things aren't just said, they are pos

It was only last month that Marvel revealed a set of anti-bullying variant covers designed to get kids to stop being complete jerks to each other, but apparently, it seems that an image of Gamorra offering to space-murder a group of mean children wasn't enough to solve all the problems. As a result, Marvel has taken the next logical step: A full-length anti-bullying comic featuring the Avengers, Spider-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy, all teaming up to try to put an end to bullying once and for all.

Superhero comics have always come down pretty hard against bullying, whether it's Superman sticking up for the little guy in 1938 or Marvel's more direct approach to having nerdy weaklings suddenly turn into super-strong crime-fighters who turn the tables and beat the living crap out of the bad guys. Captain America, Spider-Man and the Hulk all follow that classic formula, and heck, the X-Men are an entire school made up of an oppressed minority that spends most of their time fighting robots made of racism. So yeah, Marvel is, historically speaking, pretty dead set against bullying. That's why it's no surprise that they're teaming up with the STOMP Out Bullying organization next month for a series of variant covers designed to raise awareness of bullying and help prevent it. The results are some pretty great covers that range from charming to genuinely hilarious.

This past Sunday the Miami Dolphins suspended teammate Richie Incognito on charges of bullying a younger teammate, who has left the team, named Jonathan Martin.  Oh and this is not the first time Mr. Incognito has been known to bully.
