NORTHFIELD, Minn. (WCCO) — Bullies are forcing more than 160,000 kids across the country to stay home from school every day. Fear of an attack or intimidation can have an impact that lasts a lifetime.
Kelly Miland, 20, knows firsthand how terrifying it can be to become the target of a bully.
“Back then, I didn’t know what bullying was until a couple of years later,” said Kelly, who was the victim of a bully.
During her freshman year at Northfield High School, her family noticed a change in her normally upbeat personality.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Sorry. The old saying needs some revamping in this age. Verbal as well as online bullying not only hurts, it can linger far longer than fractures or black eyes.
Now, I'm not a helicopter parent, or I try not to be. There's some things I feel my child will need to find a way to handle if it ever gets problematic. It does build self-sufficiency and character and prepares them for a world that can be quite mean and not always nice. I emphasize here that it's not the bullying that builds the character. It's the proper and effective response to it.
