Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stop Bullying! offers kids' views on bullying through thoughtful essays and expressive, colorful drawings. Students in grades 3-8 discuss "Examples of Bullying"; "Why Bullying Hurts"; and "What to Do When You or Another Are Bullied." Stop Bullying! is a tool parents, teachers, and community leaders can use to help children talk about and cope with bullying. An extensive list of resources for teachers and parents is included at the end. Bullying is a pervasive public health threat among our children. It can start in early grade school and continue through high school. Over 13 million students are affected by bullying in some way every year. Hundreds of thousands of students stay home from school each year to avoid being bullied. Pew Research Center recently reported that a majority of teens have experienced some form of cyberbullying. Kids with a disability, or those who seem different to their peers in appearance or interests, are particularly vulnerable to bullying behavior. Bullying victims are up to nine times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims. Although some schools have started to educate our children on how to recognize, respond to, and stop bullying, enforcement of anti-bullying school policies and goals remains challenging, in part, due to weak state laws. Mandatory teacher/counselor anti-bullying training and development of a bully free school is necessary. This would include training students to be advocates as bully defenders. Each school/district should have a bully prevention specialist. Stronger civil and criminal penalties are needed for those who tolerate bullying or fail to intervene to protect children. Finally, there needs to be a culture change where kids can freely stand up and speak out in support of their targeted classmates. If Stop Bullying! helps in any way through education or timely intervention to protect a child or even save a life, then mission accomplished. Michael F. Becker, Editor

Download or read book Preventing Bullying Through Science Policy and Practice written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. 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.
