One death because of bullying is too many

It is wonderful news that a legislative committee endorsed an anti-bullying bill.

Bullying has become a serious issue. Too many young people have ended their lives because of it. One death because of bullying is one too many.

Children are precious and need to be protected at all costs. It is OK to be different. Differences are what make us unique.

I hope others will call their state representative or senator and support LD 1237 and help this worthy bill pass.
