Stop Bullying After reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls the realization really set in on how bullying affected people back then and how it still affects people nowadays. Jeannette had problems fitting in because she was different which seems to be the cause of many bullying issues.

Kids should also know that what they put out or post on the internet can most likely always be tracked down. Even after they think it is deleted, in most cases it can always be re-tracked.
