Edison State
Students Talk at Library on Bullying
A variety of sources note that children of all ages can suffer
emotional problems due to bullying and that nearly three-fourths of all
young people have been or are currently being bullied.
Cyberbullying is also on the rise as nearly half of all teens are
affected. Persistent bullying in teens can lead to or worsen
feelings of isolation, rejection, exclusion, and despair, as well as
depression and anxiety, which can contribute to suicidal
behavior. So what can you, as adults, do to protect your children
and grandchildren?
On Thursday, December 14 at 6 p.m., four Edison State Community College
Darke County Campus communications students will be at the Greenville
Public Library to address the issue of bullying. Their goal is to
provide adults with information that could help the young people in
their lives. They are Kaitlin Howard, Brigette Filbrun, Elizabeth
Williams, and Madison Little.
For a number of years, the Edison Fundamentals of Communication
students have been educating young people on bullying, drug abuse, and
literacy. They have visited nearly every school district in Darke
County in order to talk about the consequences of risky or abusive
behavior. This fall, nine Edison teams will be at Greenville’s
K-8 campus, the Ansonia and Mississinawa Valley campuses, and the
Greenville Library.
