<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20508/20120921/researcher-looks-at-bullying-apos-s-long-term-health-effects</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 21, 2012) The school year is in full swing now, and for some kids that unfortunately means the start to another year of being bullied. One strategy for kids who are bullied is often to stay home from school as much as possible. But those kids may not just be faking their stomach aches—being bullied may be making them sick, and not just for the day. Jennifer Knack, assistant professor of psychology at Clarkson University, researches the health effects of bullying, by looking at how stressful experiences like being bullied affect college students&apos; levels of cortisol—often known as the &apos;stress hormone&apos;. She told Nora Flaherty she&apos;s seeing serious health problems in students who have experienced long-term bullying: [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20508/20120921/researcher-looks-at-bullying-apos-s-long-term-health-effects">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<title>Using music, dance to fight bullying</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18767/20111115/using-music-dance-to-fight-bullying</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 15, 2011) Over the last few months, a new music and dance club at Sackets Harbor High School has grown from a few students to more than 30.   The Glee Club focuses mostly on music, but there&apos;s an anti-bullying message, too. Joanne Heaslip is the leader of Sackets Harbor’s Parent Teacher Organization and manager of the Glee Club.  She&apos;s hoping the arts and music will build self-confidence in students.  The TV show Glee has made the club popular and even students from other districts have joined.   Heaslip told Todd Moe that Thursday night rehearsals are fun, but she wants the experience to help students who sometimes feel bullied in school to build self-respect and confidence.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17908/20110627/saranac-lake-apos-s-anti-bullying-campaign-is-only-a-start</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 27, 2011) It was a year ago last week that an incident of racially fueled bullying at the Saranac Lake Middle School made headlines and put school officials in the hot seat. One year later, the school district has completed a series of diversity and anti-bullying programs, activities and training sessions for its students, staff, teachers, principals and school board. The effort was designed to change the culture of the school district. As Chris Knight reports, however, school officials admit they still have much more work to do.
