NASHVILLE, Tenn.- It takes a village to stop bullying in our schools. That's the message from local experts as people all around the mid-state react to the news of another teen suicide because of bullying.
14-year old Phillip Parker of Gordonsville took his own life Friday and his parents say it's a result of him being bullied.
Roger Dinwiddie is with the group "Students Taking a Right Stand" or STARS. On Openline Tuesday, he said there are no innocent bystanders: everyone has a role in solving the issue of school bullying.
Dinwiddie also he pointed out it's a much different issue today than in years past.
"There's a very different mindset about what bullying is and was when you and I were in school,a very different viewpoint. We live in post-Columbine culture. It changed the world forever. Schools will never be like they were before Columbine," he said.
