Bullying is an omnipresent and seemingly ever-growing problem in schools these days, so much so that CNN has an upcoming special about it beginning Monday. Bullying at any level is uncalled for and unacceptable, but is horrifying when a child is literally “bullied to death,” as in the case of Phoebe Prince and now 13-year-old Asher Brown, who was ridiculed by his classmates for “for being small. For his religious beliefs. For the way he dressed. And for being gay.”
