Dear Daniel: Thank you for contacting me regarding school bullying issues. It was good to hear from you and I appreciate the opportunity to respond. Bullying and teasing are serious issues for children and teens. Unaddressed, bullying can affect a child's self esteem, isolate him or her from friends and lead to poor performance in school. Experts suggest that the help and support of a parent or adult friend is most important in helping a child overcome difficulties related to bullying and teasing. Helping a child find a supportive social group, reporting any violence or threats to school authorities and teaching children to say "no" to bullies are all helpful in confronting school violence. I greatly appreciate your insight into the critical issues before the House of Representatives. Legislation has been introduced in the 111th Congress that relates to bullying reduction and school safety. While I believe these issues are best addressed by local educators and school administrators, I will certainly keep your thoughts in mind if I should have the opportunity to consider legislation related to school violence or bullying. Again, thank you for taking the time to contact my office. It is a privilege to represent you and I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me regarding any matter where I might be of assistance. Please visit my website, where you can find more information on current issues, share further thoughts with me via email and subscribe to my e-newsletter for updates on issues you care about. Clips of my recent floor speeches are also available on YouTube. Sincerely,
 Todd Akin
