FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
1. People are now realizing how big of an issue bullying really is because "thousands of children go to school every day filled with fear." ( Coloroso, 1) 

2. In order to break the cycle of bullying, "it requires that we examine why and how a child becomes a bully or a target of a bully." (Coloroso, 2)

3. A lot of suicides could have been prevented if we can learn about bullying because "if it can be learned, it can be examined and it can be changed." (coloroso, 3)

4. Bullied victims can be so afraid to go to school and face his attacker because the bully can become "more physically aggressice and threatens more harm in order to instill terror in his target." (Coloroso, 7)

5. Some parents think that to "explain the behavior of the bully" is a good thinkg but you are really telling your child that they are in this situation alone.
