Rob Frenette with BullyingCanada says with the school year in full swing for the past few weeks, calls to his organization's help line has shot up dramtatically.
He tells CHSJ News while he normally gets about 500 calls a month -- so far he has received about 2000 calls.
He says he has already dealt directly with a few cases of bullying in Saint John schools.
He believes the increase in the call volume is because BullyingCanada has been doing aggressive marketing across the province.
He says the number of calls should go down as September, March Break, and the summer are typcially the peak times for bullying issues.
