Counter Acting Bullying Effects
The purpose of this project is to raise awareness about the issuing of bullying as it takes place in school facilities and during school related activities. Some research indicates this phenomenon is "normative" (Peets et al., 2015, p. 913). Additionally, the project will provide measures to both reduce the rate of incidence of bullying in such settings, and to reduce the severity of bullying. Ideally, the full implementation of this project will eradicate bullying, and help to create a school and school-related environment which is much more peaceful and conducive to learning and educated. In terms of raising awareness, this project will target all members of the school community including administrators, employees, instructors, students, parents, and any relevant members of the surrounding community.
The rationale for this project is relatively simple. Bullying is something that has occurred for nearly as long as formal attempts at organized education have been made. There is a countrywide effort to reduce it (Cornell and Limber, 2015, p. 333). Moreover, its very existence is contrary to the goals of education: which include the growth of developments of students not just in terms of academia, but in terms of life skills as well. Therefore,...
An anti-bullying campaign is particularly pertinent in today's generation in which young people -- even at the elementary school level -- have access to weapons that enable them to wreak more havoc on people's lives than ever before.
It is critical to base this anti-bullying campaign on research that illustrates some of the more salient aspects of this phenomenon which, if left unchecked, could greatly produce a noxious impact upon the lives of those involved in educational settings and the occurrence of "victimization" (Turner et al., 2015, p. 366). As such, that research will require a blend of both academic, empirical-evidence based articles as well as those existing in more conventional media outlets to shed insight into what sort of measures are most efficacious for subsiding this phenomenon. The latter can provide information that is contemporary to identify what facets of bullying are most prominent and practiced throughout the country in schools today. The former will help to identify evidence-based practices (ideally) which have indicated some sort of positive effect in dealing with…

More and more children are becoming victims of cyberbullying with an estimated range of between 19% and 42% being bullied online at least one time (Wolak, Mitchell & Finkelhor, 2006). Reports also indicate that children who participated in traditional bullying are becoming increasingly more involved in cyberbullying; reflecting very high percentages of those children acting as cyber bullies (Kowalski & Limber, 2007). In a recent study of 177 seventh grade
This would help a victim open up to the teacher and thus seek help. School is an important period in a child's life and should be free of stress. It is the responsibility of school authorities to ensure child' safety. In the schools, where bullying incidents are non-existent have some active form of intervention in place. Bullying is a more serious problem in public schools compared to private school
When these components were included in bullying intervention programs, Olweus found significant reductions of 50% or more during the 2 years following their introduction in American schools with more than 2,500 students. According to Heinrich (2003), "The bullying prevention program goals are reducing or eliminating existing bullying problems and preventing new problems. The major cost of this program is not in money but in the amount of time and energy
Career Development Program Juveniles in Gangs The intervention plan provides various professional and organizational insights on the program and facilitation service. The program recognizes the relevance of initiating capacity, professionalism and skills of the persons involved while contributing towards the achievement of the strategic priorities and goals. The programs provide consultative information and services for the units of planning, team development and implementation of change processes (Bradshaw, et al., 2013). The
Likewise, the percentages of young children who reported bullying behaviors who were themselves the victims of bullying by others as well as being abuse both physically and sexually in the home were highly disturbing and represent a call to action for educators at all levels. It is clear that violence continues to adversely affect both the bully and the victim, but it is also clear that the victims are
