The value of this book lies in the potential for its application in a realistic school setting by staff from the head teacher, to teachers, to pupils and all those who are in the school environment′ - Dr L F Lowenstein, Clinical and Educational Psychologist `The authors of this book adopt a new approach to dealing with bullying.

This book is an essential practical guide to dealing with bullying for teachers, teachers trainers, counsellors, pupil and families′ - Childright `This book is an important and comprehensive resource dealing with school bullying issues in a practical way, with strategies designed to be used easily in the classroom. It gives valuable advice to teachers on dealing with bullies in the most effective way, using victims and bystanders as part of the solution. It should be required reading in every secondary school′ - Liz Carnell, Director, Bullying Online This book is a practical guide to dealing with bullying in secondary schools. The authors present what we know about bullying, describe development issues for adolescence and discuss the social context of the school. They analyze key features of healthy and unhealthy schools, and set out a whole school approach to bullying and other social problems that arise in the secondary school. The authors show that by empowering the bystanders through providing effective teacher support, much of the bullying can be stopped at an early age and a healthy and safe school can be created. Their suggestions are based on student-centred responses and on programmes developed specifically to deal with bullying. This book is written especially for secondary school teachers, administrators and students, and the families and caregivers of the students. It is also for those who train teachers, for counsellors and for educators at all levels.

This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying has long been tolerated as a rite of passage among children and adolescents. There is an implication that individuals who are bullied must have "asked for" this type of treatment, or deserved it. Sometimes, even the child who is bullied begins to internalize this idea. For many years, there has been a general acceptance and collective shrug when it comes to a child or adolescent with greater social capital or power pushing around a child perceived as subordinate. But bullying is not developmentally appropriate; it should not be considered a normal part of the typical social grouping that occurs throughout a child's life. Although bullying behavior endures through generations, the milieu is changing. Historically, bulling has occurred at school, the physical setting in which most of childhood is centered and the primary source for peer group formation. In recent years, however, the physical setting is not the only place bullying is occurring. Technology allows for an entirely new type of digital electronic aggression, cyberbullying, which takes place through chat rooms, instant messaging, social media, and other forms of digital electronic communication. Composition of peer groups, shifting demographics, changing societal norms, and modern technology are contextual factors that must be considered to understand and effectively react to bullying in the United States. Youth are embedded in multiple contexts and each of these contexts interacts with individual characteristics of youth in ways that either exacerbate or attenuate the association between these individual characteristics and bullying perpetration or victimization. Recognizing that bullying behavior is a major public health problem that demands the concerted and coordinated time and attention of parents, educators and school administrators, health care providers, policy makers, families, and others concerned with the care of children, this report evaluates the state of the science on biological and psychosocial consequences of peer victimization and the risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease peer victimization behavior and consequences.

Download or read book Impact of Bullying on Girls in Secondary Schools written by Difrine Madara and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, grade: A, Kenyatta University, language: English, abstract: The primary aim of this study is to explain the effect of bullying on girls in secondary schools. To achieve this aim, it is important to acknowledge that bullying is understood differently among different groups of people especially among students. For instance, what one person may consider to be bullying could be considered as normal behaviour by another person. Due to this, it is important to gather data from a wide range of sources and large samples to understand the extent of impact of bullying on girl students. Meanwhile, the study shall also examine the social interaction patterns which are affected by bullying in secondary schools. Hence, the researcher intends to explore the perception of bullying among girls in secondary schools and to assess how bullying affects girls in secondary schools physically, mentally, and socially. In general, the researcher’s primary goal was to answer the question which impact bullying has on girls in secondary schools? Bullying and harassment are common issues in many secondary schools in the United Kingdom. In fact, for many years, bullying was viewed as a common feature in schools and was overlooked as a threat to students. In some societies, it was believed that bullying is one of the developmental stages that young people must get over. However, a considerable number of people often fails to get over the personal trauma that results from bullying.

Download or read book Bullying in Schools written by Ken Rigby and published by Aust Council for Ed Research. This book was released on 2007 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying is now widely recognised as a serious problem that affects many children in schools. It can take many forms, including direct verbal and physical harassment and indirect forms such as deliberate exclusion and the targeting of individuals using cyber technology. Continual and severe bullying can cause both short term and long term damage, making it difficult for victims to form intimate relationships with others and for habitual bullies to avoid following a delinquent lifestyle and becoming perpetrators of domestic violence. Even though this type of abuse affects many of our school children, Ken Rigby believes there are grounds for optimism. This passionate and motivating book shows that there are ways of reducing the likelihood of bullying occurring in a school and effective ways of tackling cases when they do occur. Using up-to-date studies, Bullying in Schools helps us to understand the nature of bullying and why it so often takes place in schools. Importantly, it examines and evaluates what schools can do to promote more positive peer relationships within the school community and take effective and sustainable action to deal with problems that may arise. Teachers, parents, school leaders, policy makers, and health professionals will find it invaluable and empowering.

Download or read book Why School Anti Bullying Programs Don t Work written by Stuart W. Twemlow and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as a guide for readers interested in improving school climate. Using 15 years of consultation and research in a variety of United States and foreign schools, the authors strip down the elements needed to create a healthy and productive school climate. The book challenges many commonly held notions about violence prevention and outlines a simple and inexpensive formula for creating sustained change in any school. The book stresses understanding of the underlying processes involved in the bully-victim-bystander power dynamics, the value of altruism, and the use of natural leaders to begin and sustain change in a school climate. A note on the book's cover: Positive vibrations is taken from a Bob Marley song: 'Rastaman vibration positive, you can't live that negative way.' The song rallies people to be positive and strong, and to speak honestly and stand up for their rights, while taking care of themselves. Although jamaican in origin, it has universal application to be a gentle warrior in one's personal life for the good of self and others.

Download or read book Bullying Experiences Among Secondary School Learners in Eswatini s Manzini Urban Area and Strategies for Mitigation written by Lwandze Dlamini and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, grade: 5.0, , course: Educational Management, language: English, abstract: Bullying is one of the major issues educators, learners and school communities are facing in Eswatini, Africa, and globally. This study looks at secondary school learners' experiences of bullying in co-educational schools in the Manzini urban area. The main objectives of the study are to identify forms or types of bullying experienced by learners, effects of bullying in the lives of learners, characteristics of the victims of bullying, as well as strategies which can be adopted to counter bullying in the school context. The study uses a qualitative research approach where thirty individual interviews were conducted with form 2, 3 and 5 learners, including three guidance teachers. Data is analysed through themes. A detailed analysis of the themes is then conducted to tell a coherent and a persuasive account on the experiences of bullying. The study found that boys usually engage in physical forms of bullying, such as hitting, punching and kicking, while girls often engage in verbal forms of bullying such as hurling insults, name-calling, spreading rumours, as well as cyberbullying. These forms of bullying affect learners socially, emotionally and psychologically, including their academic performance. Gender identity, age, and economic status were found to be the common characteristics among victims of bullying. Socialization also seems to play a major role in perpetuating bullying in schools, as boys exercise their power over those whom they deem to be weak. The study recommends that various stakeholders such as teachers, parents, non-governmental organizations and social workers could work together to minimize the prevalence of bullying in schools.
