Phelan: Working together can help overcome bullying issue

I’m excited for college next year. Although the process is lengthy and moving away from home is scary, I’m still excited.

But there’s one aspect of high school that can make it just miserable for anyone and everyone: bullying.

My school’s handbook offers a detailed explanation of actions it will not tolerate and reasons people will not be discriminated against.
