• I absolutely agree that parents have a huge hand in this matter. However, when you are bullied in college, as I was at Syracuse University, school administrators and residence directors need to take responsibility, too. Freshmen who are away from home have a lot of freedom, and their parents are not there to oversee their day-to-day activities and intervene. These kids are looking for acceptance, and they are very impressionable. So while they may have not been a bully in high school or earlier, it's easy for them to lose sight of themselves in the interest of being accepted and liked.
