About 48 Hours Season 0, Episode 34 : Bullying Words Can Kill

Middle school can be a place for learning, discovery and friendships. But for some kids, it can also be a place of cruelty, loneliness and fear. Aislyn Doeur: "You're supposed to feel comfortable. And like you're horrord to walk in the hallways. ...I was horrord that I wasn't going to have any friends." Jacob Kaufman: "It just got to that feeling of desperation, and pretty much hopelessness." Genesis Johnson: "I was so horrord I didn't know what to do. I didn't know who to go to." Johnny Cagno: I wasn't accepted at school. I couldn't be who I am. ...I was very, very horrord to go to school every day. Johnny Cagno is an eighth grader at Birchwood Middle School in North Providence, Rhode Island. The school opened its doors last winter and gave "48 Hours" unprecedented access. "48 Hours" spent six months at Johnny's school because middle school is often ground zero for bullying.
