Press poll: Bruises aplenty from bullies

By nearly a 2-to-1 margin, readers of The Press online are intimately familiar with problems from bullying.

In the most recent poll, 65 percent of readers - 304 votes - said they or someone in their immediate family has suffered from bullying. The other 35 percent, 163 voters, said they have not.

Coeur d'Alene School District has vowed that it will get much tougher on the problem of bullying among its students, particularly where race is involved.
