The Essential Guide to Bullying

Prevention And Intervention

Cindy Miller, Cynthia Lowen

Headlines are filled with tragic stories of senseless murders and suicides that have resulted from child and teen bullying. As social networking and technology add to the ways that kids can be bullied, parents feel powerless against this insidious force that compels even "good" kids to participate in or enable bullying in schools, in extracurricular activities, online, and at home. The Essential Guide to Bullying Prevention and Intervention brings together the wisdom and experience of two people who have witnessed bullying's causes and tragic effects. School social worker Cindy Miller teams with Cynthia Lowen, the co-creator of Bully, to arm parents and teachers with the knowledge they need to: • Understand the societal and human forces that are causing bullying to escalate. • Discover who is most at risk for being bullied, being a bully, or not helping a bullying victim. • Target-proof their kids and teach them coping skills. • Identify even the most covert bullying situations. • Infiltrate the world of cyberbullying and head off its disastrous effects. • Intervene to stop a bullying situation. • Know what legal recourse they have to back up other anti-bullying efforts.

Bullying Prevention and Intervention in School Systems

Allyson R. O'Connor

This paper examines problems associated with bullying and the need for effective intervention and prevention systems in schools. Bullying is a high-risk problem that is occurring in the United States; it can cause physical, emotional, and psychological problems for bullies, victims, and bystanders. It can also damage a school's climate and cause students to feel insecure, scared, and unsafe within their school, all of which can prevent academic achievement. Educators play an important role in helping students achieve academic success and personal and social growth; therefore, they play a critical role in preventing bullying from occurring within schools and creating a positive school environment that will allow students to thrive. Educators can implement evidence-based bullying prevention and intervention systems to prevent bullying from occurring and act as advocates for students to provide a safe environment within the school. School psychologists also have a lead role in creating a successful, positive, and safe school environment. As leaders within a school and district, school psychologists are influential when implementing bullying prevention programs. Most importantly, school psychologists need to be educated in all areas of bullying and prevention to assist others in understanding the need for prevention and intervention within school systems.
