6 months into N.J. law to halt bullying, a survey takes a look at how it’s working
In the second day of classes at Hammarskjold Middle School in East Brunswick, a boy approached 11-year-old Jonathan Seltzer in the front hall and called him a name. The verbal harassment continued into the fall, Jonathan said, and in November, he went to his principal.
“That was my breaking point,” said Jonathan, a dark-eyed sixth-grader who aspires to be a singer and won the lead in his school play. “It felt like my head was a piece of paper and it crumpled.” (Rundquist, The Star-Ledger)
