Why Anti-Bullying?
There are several
critical reasons for examining and attempting to counteract
bully/victim problems in school:
-
Bullying may cause short-term problems for the victims
(depression, anxiety, problems with school work)
- Persistent bullying can leave long-term scars on the
victims (low self-esteem, depression)
- Students who bully are especially likely to engage in
other antisocial/delinquent behaviors such as vandalism,
truancy and drug use
- Bullying may contribute to a negative school social
climate that is not conducive to good social relationships
or learning.
