Bullying in America's schools

Have you been bullied in school? If you have, you're not alone.

A recent study found that almost a third of students aged 12-18 reported being bullied in school and Education Secretary Anne Duncan warns that bullying makes it harder for kids to learn.

CNN's Anderson Cooper is hosting a town hall meeting on bullying and wants to talk to the people who deal with this problem every day – boys and girls between 9 and 17 years old.

Here are some questions we want to answer:

- What is a bully?
- Are there bullies at your school?
- Have you ever been bullied?
- Has anyone ever bullied you over the Internet?
- How does it feel?
- What do you do when you see someone else being bullied?
- Have you ever bullied someone else?

If you're over 13, get your parent's permission and share your experiences in a short video. Parents, you can help by asking your kids questions about bullying and putting their answers on video.

Please try to keep your video under two minutes and post it by Wednesday, September 29. Your iReport could be used in an upcoming special hosted by Anderson Cooper in conjunction with Cartoon Network and People magazine.
