YOUR NAME COLUMBIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY 4/29/2014 Introduction The topic for research is bullying. The reason behind picking this topic is that it is a hot button issue that everyone seems to have their own opinion on, but from the news stories on the 6 oclock news, it appears that there is still a lot that needs to be done to understand and cope with this issue. It is important to understand what it is, what programs work, and what does not work. References Battey, G. L., & Ebbeck, V. (2013).
