Mon., Oct 3, 2011 Anderson Cooper: When Teen Bullying Doesn't "Get Better", the Deadly Consequences

In a daytime exclusive, Anderson speaks with Tracy and Timothy Rodemeyer, parents of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer, who took his own life only weeks ago after constant bullying became too much for him to bear. Jamey’s sister, Alyssa, joins Anderson to share her loss and to perform a tribute song she... wrote for her brother. One of Jamey's classmates, who courageously admits to bullying behavior, apologizes for her wrongs and shares how Jamey's death has affected her.
Anderson introduces the Rodemeyers to the Jacobsens, another family mourning the loss of their son to suicide over bullying, in hopes that these families can support each other as they grieve. Anderson also speaks with a bullying survivor, Emily Carey and her mother, Carla, about how she persevered and ultimately overcame the emotional distress.

Plus, Dr. Dorothy Espelage provides information on what parents and the community can do to help prevent bullying, and how you can tell if something is going on with a child.

If you see something, say something:

State Trooper George H Murphy Jr. says kids need to speak up when they notice something out of the ordinary.

"Studies show up to 20,000 children and teenagers die each year from bullying and that's mostly from suicides," Trooper Murphy said.

A number that can decrease if students just realize the difference they can make.

"We really need the kids to think of it differently, and to get behind this problem," he said. "As adults, we can work to diminish it, but the students can stop it, by interacting and taking action against bullying."
