Massachusetts vows to prevent bullying

The Massachusetts senate passed a bill in which requires both public and charter schools to come up with ways to prevent bullying. There has been a recent push for a better system in dealing with all forms of bullying. The bill passed after several suicides by young children happened due to getting harassed at school. The new bill that was passed requires principals to report certain cases of bullying to the police. The bill even includes rules about electronic and over the phone bullying, earning up to 3 months jail or a $500 fine for doing so.
