    1.1  Background
          Much of a child and adolescent's day is spent at school where they learn how to read, write and do arithmetic. These students are developing mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally from teachers, school counselors, administrators, support staff and other students. According to Rigby (2009), these days bullying is accepted in many schools throughout the states; it is extremely damaging to the minority of students, mentally, emotionally, physically, and academically. Weaving character education into the school's curriculum and/or encouraging the use of the various programs that are out there encourages more students to think about treating others differently.
    The definition of character education can be quite complicated because of the many values it encompasses. The definition is universal and the outcomes are distinguished. Pearson & Nicholson (2000), feel that there are three interconnected areas that represent good character: self, others, and the community. With their own actual self, students can look at self-discipline, responsibility, trustworthiness, courage, and self- discipline. Character traits such as: honesty, respect, empathy, kindness, and caring play into affect with students who have relationships with classmates, teachers, friends, and family. Utilizing schools discipline policies, character education programs, and encouragement from parents, schools are beginning to document that they can make a significant difference in the lives of the children they teach. Students will then live the positive character traits they learned through practice by treating others with respect and fairness while recognizing they are becoming responsible, caring, trustworthy citizens.
