Signs of Bullying
we can’t wait for kids to tell us something is wrong. We have to be tuned into their behavior to see if any patterns emerge
It’s Not about You
How many times have you been told, that when you are bullied, it’s not about you. Your first thought is – of course it’s about me – it’s happening to me!!!! Well, yeah – but it’s still not about you.
Can bullying be stopped?
One of the problems we have when addressing bullying in schools is that most anti-bullying programs focus on prevention only. Prevention is hugely important. But it’s an incomplete strategy. After all, prevention only helps kids who haven’t yet been bullied. We also need to help kids who are currently being bullied learn how to get it to stop. What we need is a more comprehensive approach.
Why is bullying so bad in middle school?
Bullying is preventable and can be eliminated and stopped, which means we don’t have to tolerate it anymore, which is why we are seeing more attention being paid to it.
