"Bullying in our society is a tremendous problem. It's been in the news lately but it still doesn't get enough attention." Maria said recently. "One's self esteem is battered whenever one is subjected to bullying whether it be at school, at home, or at work. This type of informational program is a step in the right direction to combating this social problem."
