Preventing Students from Becoming “Bully-Targets”

Conflict among peers is prevalent; however, bullying is an extreme form of peer conflict, which can be physically and psychologically harmful to students. Thus, it’s important for a program to identify bullying, while promoting positive peer conflict resolution techniques for students inside/outside the classrooms.  This blog is created for parents, educators, & community for creating a bully-free classroom environment. In addition, blogging can play a vital role for building communication and partnership between parents, educators, and the community.

Blogging Help Students From Becoming Victims
Children who chronically bullied are often deeply unhappy in school, suffer from low self-esteem, and socially rejected by classmates. Teachers are likely to see the “hidden” cost of bullying. As students become victimized, their grades frequently drop.  The best way for schools to assist students who are victimized by bullies is to adopt a whole-school approach by using practical optimistic and positivity.  

Let blog by Taking steps to Ensure Victim’s Safety. Victims are physically weak or less powerful than bullies. They may blame themselves for being bullied, while believing that adults & parents cannot rescue them from these issues. When adults intervene, they should keep the victim safe from future bullying attacks.

  1. I think you're blog is an excellent idea. It is important to allow children to have an outlet for expressions especially when it comes to bullying. My only concern is what happens once a comment is posted that states that a child is being bullied.

  2. I enjoy reading your blog, especially the bully-free message that you have expressed. The message will allow parents to identify the signs of bullying and allow children to take precaution. Keep up the good work.
