WISH in the Bay “When It Stops Here in the Bay” is a group that is advocating for a Bully Policy to be implemented in the Whitefish Bay School District.   The affections on children that are repeatedly bullied include depression and suicide.  Many times the child that is bullied can be the one antagonize others.  This becomes a vicious cycle.  The cycle needs to stop.  WISH in the Bay’s goal is to stop bullying behavior in the Whitefish Bay School District, by implementing a District Wide Policy. Bullying can impact your child motivation to go to school, depression, and suicide and school violence as we saw with former District student Dylan Klebold.  Klebold is one of the Columbine, Colorado shooters.  He and his friend were both victims of bullying. WISH in the Bay is working to implement a policy that will be followed in each of the following schools Richards and Cumberland Elementary, Whitefish Bay Middle School and Whitefish Bay High School.  For more information, email wishinthebay@gmail.com. All inquires are kept confidential and anonymity is available through email communication.   References'Dream parents' live silent nightmare As killers' kin remain secluded, questions fill the void AssociatedPress, Los Angeles Times as in the Journal Sentinel April 26, 1999.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Harris_and_Dylan_Kleboldhttp://abcnews.go.com search Does Bullying Affect Risk Of Depression?  Feb. 26, 2008.
