Anti-Bullying Programs

 

"According to a study conducted by the University of Johannesburg, bullying is rife in South African schools. The study found that bullying occurs in all schools regardless of level, school size, setting, racial composition, whether a school is in wealthy, middle class or poor areas. This is a worldwide phenomenon that schools have to deal with. What is bullying exactly? Bullying can be direct (physical assault, verbal or written harassment, etc) or indirect (exclusion from social situations, manipulation, etc.) Cyber bullying, i.e. harassment on the phone, the internet or via text messages, is also on the increase. Boys and girls both take part in bullying even though, in general, boys bully more physically while girls use more indirect means. Bullying is seen as a normal part of life by many people, but in fact it has long term consequences for the victim and the bully. It can lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and even suicide in victims. Research shows that if it isn’t stopped in early childhood, aggressive behaviour can become habitual in bullies and could lead to criminal behaviour and domestic violence later in life."
