Every day, more than 160,000 students stay home from school because they fear being bullied. This week, we discuss bullying at length.  Poet Shane Koyczan uncovers the dark beginnings of &#8220;To This Day,&#8221; a poem abut bullying that went unexpectedly viral.  We talk with Emily Bazelon, author of <i>Sticks and Stones<\/i>, to learn more about the bullying phenomenon.  Dr. William Copeland reveals how bullying&#8217;s long-term effects extend into adulthood and discusses an unprecedented study that followed 1,420 kids from North Carolina for twenty years.  Distinguished author James Lasdun tells us how a relentless student cyberstalked him and refuses to stop to this very day.  And we find out how an innocent girl with progeria was relentlessly tortured by cyberbullies who reviled her for no good reason at all.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.followyourears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6a.jpg\" alt=\"6a\" width=\"263\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-264\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>As if Broken Bones Hurt More<\/h3>\n<p>Shane Koyczan read his poem, &#8220;To This Day,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/ltun92DfnPY\" target=\"_blank\">over a video that was animated by volunteers<\/a>.  The video became a YouTube sensation, racking up five million views in a week.  But before Koyczan had poetry, there was the daily hell at school in which he was singled out for being different.  Now that the bully&#8217;s reach has extended beyond the classroom, Koyczan discusses how conversation and compassion are invaluable tools against the hate and meanness.

But how can kids stick up for themselves?  And what of school principals who believe that putting the bully and the victim in the same room to talk out the problem?  And with so many other national problems, why should we care about bullying?
