Should schools have mandatory anti-bully/cyber bully classes? What other suggestions do you have that can help combat this vicious trend?

The best way to combat? Talk to your kids! Talk about harassment, bullying, make sure he's aware of the consequences, show them sites about victims. Make sure they don't become one of the Bullies. Also make sure they report any bullying or harassment they see because so much bullying gets unreported. There are many silent victims.
Everything starts at home. Sure there's lots of organizations out there that try to combat bullying, but the truth is, I think we'd see a huge decline if parents actually took the time to talk to their children in depth about this subject.
Everyone thinks, "oh my kids wouldn't do that!" or "if they did anything at all it was not meant to be mean, he was probably just playing" or my all time favorite, "..you're overreacting. Boys will be boys" insinuating that bullying is just what kids do.
anyway, 2cents caChed
