Bullying remains an increasingly well-known topic due to the impartial choice of victims and death-related incidents. In particular, schools have become a natural place for bullies to victimize victims, but schools have finally begun to respond to this epidemic problem. Schools have initiated anti-bullying programs to, if not stop bullying as a whole, then at least minimize it; however, even with anti-bullying programs in place, the bullying dilemma continues to persist, suggesting that school programs remain ineffective. Anti-bullying programs implemented by schools may help some students feel less victimized, but they fail to show any significant improvement due to the increasing number of bullying-related suicides, the emergence of cyberbullying, and numerous cases of teachers becoming bullies. Fortunately, some school programs have weakened physical bullying among students. In Jeffery Wesis' Dallas Morning News article, "School Curriculum Wards Off Bullying by Strengthening Bonds Between Students," he discusses the positive effects of a new curriculum called "R time," used by Richardson Elementary in Dallas, Texas . In the article, Wesis states: “Studies in England in schools using R-time showed a striking drop in the proportion of students who said they had been victims of bullying and a significant decrease in the number of students who said they were aware of ongoing bullying." (Wesis). The study shows that the new curriculum has successfully addressed the problem of bullying in schools that use it. While school programs can undermine physical bullying, they often unintentionally manifest the cyberbullying epidemic.
