Bullying

Here are 12 ways to stop or hinder bullying.
And you know what - it works! Kids really need to know how to defend themselves, but not necessarily in the physical sense. It can include trickery, deflection, defusion and other methods of conflict management.

Story:
Pete Nappier was bullied when he was a young kid. It was part of his inspiration to start the Safety and Awareness Institute in Hickory and Lincolnton.

Nappier teaches kids, from elementary to high school, 12 ways to deal with bullies.

"The program hits every aspect," Nappier said. "The bully only wants power. So we teach to give the bully respect. It's a pretty in-depth curriculum."

Across the county, schools say they see an increase in such problems.
