Still, the problem is on the rise, and increasingly tied to short- and long-term emotional consequences. "I think that we do have a real problem if we define it properly," said Bazelon, a senior editor for Slate and author of "Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy."
