Students and teachers tackle bullying
Grade 6 student Kiersten Ryder-Cyer says being bullied made her feel like she didn’t belong at school.
“I felt like I was different from everyone else,” she said. “I had no friends at the time. Whenever I [would] go on Facebook and change my profile picture, I would sometimes get rude comments.”
That’s no longer the case as Kiersten said she hasn’t been bullied for roughly a year.
She wasn’t the only one either. Fellow classmate Zaydin Ryder-halkett said he’s seeing people being bullied over the Internet, physically bullied and teased.
