About a quarter of high school students and about half of junior high students in Wyoming indicated they had been bullied on a recent statewide survey. Many schools have been working to address bullying and suicides through various initiatives.
Rock Springs High School Principal Darrin Peppard said that students are encouraged to communicate with school counselors and social workers. Safety consultant Bruce Hayes, of the state education department, says a simple, low-cost option is for school administrators to encourage teachers to stress the importance of character building by embedding it into their lesson plans. Rock Springs Junior High School has been conducting a series of lessons highlighting character building and leadership skills.
