Is bullying a problem in every school?

Some people say that every school has a bullying problem. A lot of high schools have numerous programs to prevent bullying. Although Princess Margaret Secondary School located in the small town of Penticton BC looks like a jail it is a very welcoming school where everbody is accepted. You can walk down the hallway feeling safe and happy. When you look around in the common area at lunch you see many different groups of people. You see the popular kids at one table, the kids that are in the middle at one table and the quiet kids that don't want anything to do with anyone but their close friends. But even after seeing all these groups you can say that "maggie" is one big family and everybody looks out for each other. If someone is the subject of bullying there are many sources they can go to recieve help. They can talk to a friend or a peer counsellor or an adult counsellor. They can also talk to a member of the staff. This school also participates in many days that raise awareness to bullying like "pink day". Pink day is a day where everybody wears pink and signs a petition to stop bullying. When you witness seven hundred students and staff wearing a certain color to raise awarness then you know that this is a great school.
