in place are meeting current student needs as they go through a school year with still so many unknowns and with still so many stressors that surround their daily lives both in and out of school.\u00a0 There is still much work to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though per NCSE the percentages of students ages 12-18 reporting being bullied trended downward 2009 v 2019 (28% to 22%), we still have almost a quarter of students who experience some type of bullying behavior.\u00a0 And students shouldn\u2019t have to depend on their own resilience to get through, even though, yes, it is a helpful skill to have.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is we have to support all students, both the student doing the bullying and the student who has been bullied.\u00a0 Both need our help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resources giving students the social emotional skills and other

in areas such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A decrease in physical and verbal aggressive behaviors among students.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A decrease in the likelihood of students using drugs and alcohol.<\/span><\/li>\n<li
