Social media contributes to bullying in Quincy schools
QUINCY — A survey of Quincy Middle School and Quincy High School students indicates that most students believe they can get help from an adult if they think they are being bullied. Data from the 2023-24 school year to date indicates relatively few referrals to administrators for bullying cases. But Superintendent Nik Bergman said it’s still a concern in Quincy schools, and that district officials need the help of parents to combat it.
