Oct 2017
 
On Wednesday, September 28, 2017, an 18-year-old student at the Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation in the Bronx allegedly stabbed two fellow students. This resulted in one student's death and left the second student in critical condition. Early reports indicate that the alleged attacker had been the subject of repeated bullying by the stabbing victims.
 
Recent years have seen a shift in public attention towards taking the issue of children being bullied more seriously. School districts now focus on preventing bullying, which was once dismissed as simply part of growing up. However, as incidents such as this show, serious bullying and resulting violence still occur.
