“Girls are just nasty to each other.”
“It takes tough people to make it in this world.”
Those are all examples of the kinds of statements — and attitudes — that need to be eliminated if we truly hope to reduce the problem of bullying, said Anthony Pierro, supervising assistant prosecutor in the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office’s Juvenile Justice Division, as he addressed a gathering of parents, educators and members of law enforcement at the Ocean County Library on Thursday night.
