It’s clear that when you are in school many teachers have always told you that bullying was not allowed and that if it ever happened to you that you needed to tell an adult about the situation so they could handle the situation, but what about when it goes on through the internet and their cell phones?
Cyber bullying has been a big issue with all of these new cases of teens who were cyber bullied over their sexuality and race would not know what to do or who to turn too so they would listen to what the bullies were telling them and would either harm their bodies or commit suicide over the bullying.
"State legislation that gives and empowers schools with more authority to require training
and requires tracking of data and a comprehensive approach to handling this kind of growing epidemic is really important," Karen Gross with the Anti-Defamation League said. Two state lawmakers have filed similar bills that would do just that. The bills would give school boards the power to transfer a student who is being bullied to another school, and require teachers to contact parents when bullying occurs.

When and if this bill gets passed, I feel that students would feel comfortable knowing that they could turn in the bullies and know that what bully is doing to them is wrong and is actually an illegal act, not a joking matter that should be taken lightly. But not only are students the victims, adults are and they should be able to go somewhere and talk about it, fortunately for Canyon Vista Middle School in Northwest Austin have a place to report bullying through their school's website.
