The difference between “bullying” and “drama” does not exist.

This is one of the topics students pondered as they participated in a lecture and discussion centered around bullying and how it manifests at the collegiate level on Feb. 6.

Hosted by the HumanKind Movement, an Athens anti-bullying movement, the lecture gave students the basic groundwork of bullying before opening the floor for student input concerning their experiences with bullying.

Katherine Raczynski, a public service assistant in the University of Georgia’s College of Education Dean’s Office, led the lecture.

“There’s a feeling of vulnerability when we don’t have that old social support network,” Raczynski said in reference to first coming to a large college campus.

Paige Hutchins, a member of the HumanKind Movement, presented some statistics on hazing, one of the most common forms of bullying considered at the collegiate level.

Thirty-six percent of students will not report hazing because they think there is no one to tell, and as of 2010, 96 people have died from hazing — 82 percent of hazing cases involve alcohol, according to Hutchins’ presentation.

Raczynski defined bullying in her lecture and gave examples of the types of bullying typically exhibited in the K-12 years of education — the years she usually studies.
