  • Being bullied by peers can effect adolescent hormones, which can reduce connectivity in the brain, ultimately leading to the lack of growth of new neurons
  • Bullying causes internal physiological damage
  • Neuroscientists have taken closer looks at adults that had undergone physical/emotional abuse at earlier stages in life, which can short-circuit normal brain development
  • have depression, anxiety, feelings of loneliness and isolation
  • Bullying entails an imbalance in strength
  • Much bullying is proactive aggression
  • Physical bullying less common among girls
  • 50% of girls report that they are bullied mainly by boys

Overview

Impacts on Society

  • A bullying problem at certain schools could form an opinion that the school holds an environment of fear and disrespect
  • Students can experience difficulty learning from bullying
  • Students may also assume that teachers and school faculty do not truly care about them, depending on how they handle bullying

What is bullying?

The Owleus Bullying Prevention Program

  • A common definition of bullying produced by Solberg and Olweus on how to judge if a student is being bullied stands to be "...a student is being bullied or victimized when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more students."
  • Developed over a period of 20 years, building on 4 key principles derived from research on the development and identification of problem behaviour
  • The principles involve creating a school- and a home- environment characterized by 4 aspects
  • Warmth, positive interest, involvement from adults
  • Firm limits on unacceptable behaviour
  • Consistent application of non-punitive, non-physical sanctions for unacceptable or violations of rules
  • Adults who act as authorities and positive role models
