Document Summary

14 year old reena virk was bullied in school and was lured out one night by kelly ellard. Consequently, reena was beaten by a group of 6 girls and one guy (warren glowatski). Kelly ellard has been sentenced to life prison with no parole until 7 years after doing her time (she claims to be innocent). Nonetheless, warren admitted his guilt and his parole form was further supported by reena"s parents who view his remorse as an act of responsibility. Bulling amongst females is on the rise and so are violent crimes. Canada has a great deal of bullying cases, more so than in most other countries. Researchers in the area of bullying have established prevnet, a network of researches that endeavor to eradicate bullying. Most people think of psychology as psychological disorders or, in essence, abnormal psychology. Psychology comes from psych (meaning soul) and logos (meaning the study of a subject).
