Even Princesses Are Bullied

Apparently it's not easy being a princess these days- at least not for 8-year-old Princess Aiko of Japan, who has been skipping school in fear of a bully. 
Not even a privileged place in the Imperial Family's lineage was enough to exempt Princess Aiko from the deleterious effects of bullying.  So what can we do to prevent childhood taunting? 
  • strengthen our bullying education programs
  • develop a zero tolerance for bullying
  • communicate acts of bullying with the parents of all parties involved
  • supervise settings where bullying tends to occur
  • prevent access to settings where bullying tends to occur
Some states have laws that require these practices.
