Bullying is receiving a lot of attention right now, which seems an opportune time to discuss it on Access Utah. According to The Bully Project's website, 13 million kids will be bullied this year, and 3 million will be absent from school, because of it. Some kids may take their lives.

The Movie Bully is out, and we'll talk with Carla Kelly from human rights education center Utah, Scott Ross, Utah State University Assistant Professor, and Clint Farmer, a school counselor with Edith Bowen Laboratory School.
