Research from the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) National Bullying Campaign shows that up to 25% of U.S. students are bullied each year. As many as 160,000 may stay home from school on any given day because they are afraid of being bullied. Now, the growing trend of cyberbullying comes into the home via computers. At least 1 out of 3 teens say they have been seriously threatened online, and 60% of teens say they have participated in online bullying. Hosted by Erika Harold, Miss America 2003, herself a victim of severe harassment, this solution oriented program presents a comprehensive and multifaceted approach to preventing bullying. It also provides help and advice to victims, parents and bystanders. Her personal experience is interwoven with compelling stories of teens who have also been bullied.
