The teacher education center at Westfield State College has created an anti-bullying program that will be implemented in local schools surrounding Westfield. The plan, called "Bully Proof Zones" is designed to bring teachers, administrators, counselors, and students together with the college students specifically being able to help the younger people change their attitudes about bullying. The college is planning a two-day seminar as well as workshops to help develop a model for the schools in what will hopefully be a successful program.
Personally, I think is this is a fantastic idea and would like to see other colleges follow in Westfield's footsteps if their model proves efficient and especially effective. I'm sure this will just be one of many other initiatives we will see being taken followed by the tragic suicides of Pheobe Prince and Carl Walker-Hoover.
