Education World: Bullying and Cyberbullying: Six Things Teachers Can Do:

"What Can Teachers Do to Reduce Future Occurrences of Bullying?

Discuss Bullying: Give students the opportunity to discuss bullying. Have the class come up with rules against bullying and involve them in determining that bullying behavior is unacceptable. Provide classroom activities and discussion opportunities related to bullying and violence, including the harm they cause and strategies to reduce their incidence.

Teach Cooperation: Teach cooperation by assigning projects that require collaboration. Such cooperation teaches students how to compromise and how to assert without demanding. Take care to vary grouping of participants and to monitor the treatment of and by participants in each group.

Develop a Plan: Develop a classroom action plan to ensure that students know what to do when they observe a bully-victim confrontation."

Bullying Defined

"Bullying is when somebody is made to feel  uncomfortable, unhappy, desperate, because of the acts of others. It can  be verbal, it can be name calling, it can be physical, it can be taking  somebody's lunch money if it's at school. All bullying is wrong. It's  usually a gang bullying one person or two people, and in the most  extreme cases it can lead to children feeling desperate enough to  consider taking their own lives."

Bulllying: Practical Strategies for Teachers and TAs | The Creative Education Blog:

"Victims of bullying suffer psychological and sometimes physical scars that last a lifetime. Victims report greater fear and anxiety, feel less accepted, suffer from more health problems, and score lower on measures of academic achievement and self-esteem than students who are not bullied.

Victims often turn their anger inward, which may lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide.

The practical strategies outlined below could form a part of your pro-active approach towards preventing and handling bullying."

Bullying Prevention: Tips for Teachers, Principals, and Parents | Edutopia:

"Approximately 32 percent of students report being bullied at school. Bullied students are more likely to take a weapon to school, get involved in physical fights, and suffer from anxiety and depression, health problems, and mental health problems. They suffer academically (especially high-achieving black and Latino students). And research suggests that schools where students report a more severe bullying climate score worse on standardized assessments than schools with a better climate."

ESL Holiday Lessons.com: Anti-Bullying Day:

"Bullying is one of the nastier, darker sides of human nature. We see it everywhere, from our early days at school to our place of work. What is it that makes bullies want to tease, hurt, humiliate and injure others? In many cases, people who are bullied take their own lives. It’s so sad this can happen in today’s society. But it does happen and it’s allowed to happen. Many terrible things happen in school – children are beaten every day. If this happened to an adult on the street, the bully would be called an attacker or mugger and would be arrested. In school it’s called “part of growing up”. The bully gets away with criminal assault; the bullied child suffers long-term physical or emotional damage."

Acoso escolar - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

Acoso escolar - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre:

"El acoso escolar (también conocido como hostigamiento escolar, matonaje escolar o, incluso, por su término inglés bullying) es cualquier forma de maltrato psicológico, verbal o físico producido entre escolares de forma reiterada a lo largo de un tiempo determinado. Estadísticamente, el tipo de violencia dominante es el emocional y se da mayoritariamente en el aula y patio de los centros escolares. Los protagonistas de los casos de acoso escolar suelen ser niños y niñas en proceso de entrada en la adolescencia (12-13 años), siendo ligeramente mayor el porcentaje de niñas en el perfil de víctimas.

El acoso escolar es una forma característica y extrema de violencia escolar.
El acoso escolar es una especie de tortura, metódica y sistemática, en la que el agresor sume a la víctima, a menudo con el silencio, la indiferencia o la complicidad de otros compañeros.[1]

Este tipo de violencia escolar se caracteriza, por tanto, por una reiteración encaminada a conseguir la intimidación de la víctima, implicando un abuso de poder en tanto que es ejercida por un agresor más fuerte (ya sea esta fortaleza real o percibida subjetivamente) que aquella. El sujeto maltratado queda, así, expuesto física y emocionalmente ante el sujeto maltratador, generándose como consecuencia una serie"

"EL MALTRATO ENTRE IGUALES

En la actualidad la convivencia es un tema central en los centros educativos. El maltrato entre iguales es un fenómeno que perjudica al clima de nuestros centros.

Pero ¿sabemos a qué nos estamos refiriendo cuando hablamos de maltratos entre iguales? ¿Seríamos capaces de diferenciarlo de otros comportamientos? ¿Cómo podemos saber si en nuestra clase existen casos de maltrato entre iguales? ¿Qué podemos hacer como profesores en estos casos? ¿Y qué hacer para prevenirlo?

Iremos tratando todos estos temas en este portal. Esperamos que lo encontréis interesante.

> ¿Qué es el maltrato entre iguales por abuso de poder?

Para empezar, parémonos a pensar en qué es el maltrato entre iguales por abuso de poder.

Se trata de un tipo perverso de relación interpersonal que se caracteriza por:

• La intención de hacer daño por parte del agresor.

• El daño físico, emocional o social que se provoca a una persona, la víctima.

• La diferencia de poder entre el agresor y la víctima: desigualdades físicas (la víctima está gorda o es la más guapa de la clase), desigualdades sociales (la víctima es nueva en el cole, no tiene amigos) o desigualdades psicológicas (la víctima es más tímida).

• Sin justificación.

• La repetición de los hechos. Aunque en ocasiones no se dé más que escasamente, la simple expectativa de repetición lo hace igual de temible para la víctima."

School Matters - Girls Bullying | Teachers TV

School Matters - Girls Bullying | Teachers TV:

"Experts explore the problem of girls bullying other girls and give tips on how to identify the symptoms as well as tackling the causes.

Because girls can be more subtle bullies than boys, using exclusion and verbal weapons rather than fists and fights, their actions can be more difficult to spot and change.

Ways to combat this type of bullying such as peer mentoring are seen in action at both primary and secondary level, as well as a creative drama workshop which helps girls explore their role when faced with these incidents in the classroom or playground.

One school shows how by running anti-bullying sessions they have been able to forewarn and forearm girls against the actions of bullies."

Teaching Boys How to Cope with Feelings

Teaching Boys How to Cope with Feelings:

"Bullying can cause problems for your child at school—but what if your own son is the bully? Talking to your son about his emotions could be the key to understanding this behavior.

Harvard psychologist Dr. William Pollack, author of Real Boys' Voices, says boys are desperate to reveal their true feelings. Many boys wear a 'mask,' often hiding feelings of sadness, loneliness and vulnerability. Dr. Pollack says that, for many boys, self-worth is tied to their body image. They worry they are not masculine enough.

Parents don't realize how they teach their boys to bury emotions. Simple phrases like 'Big boys don't cry' create a lifelong effect, according to Dr. Pollack. Many boys feel they can't express their sadness, so instead they get angry."

Girls and Bullying

Girls and Bullying:

"Bullying and teasing can be just as big a problem for girls as it can be for boys, and it can affect children of all ages, say the Peetes. They talk with Dr. Elvis Epps, the assistant principal of an elementary school in Florida, about his advice for dealing with bullying situations that parents often encounter.

Look for signs. If you daughter is acting reclusive and doesn't want to go to school, she may be afraid of a bully, Dr. Epps says.

Use your best judgment. Parents should assess whether the situation requires their intervention, Dr. Epps says. If your child has been physically injured, you should step in immediately, he says. If two girls have a verbal dispute, you may decide to let them work it out on their own, he says.

Deal with problems sooner rather than later. Call teachers or school administrators before a harmful situation can escalate, Dr. Epps says. 'I like to put the fire out while it's a little flicker [rather] than let it get out of control,' he says.

Take responsibility. If your daughter is the bully, Dr. Epps says you need to take measures to resolve the matter. Work alongside teachers and administrators, get counseling for your child if necessary and set a good example for her. 'Create an atmosphere that is positive in your home,' he says."

How to Handle Bullies

How to Handle Bullies:

"Why Children Bully Each Other:

* Children today are more aggressive. Rabbi Shmuley says children are emulating the violent video games, TV shows and movies they're exposed to.

* Marriages today are weak. Many parents fight with each other, and Rabbi Shmuley says children absorb their aggression. 'Here is the other thing—when you spend your time battling your spouse, you are going to have little energy left to discipline your kids, and he may become a bully,' he says.

* Children today are angry. 'They rage against their parents' neglect; thunder against their parents' indifference,' he says. 'As their parents ignore them more and more, they feel resentful, so they look for victims around them to take out their aggression.'

* Children today are being bullied by parents. 'Parents themselves are overworked and tired,' Rabbi Shmuley says. 'Rather than inspiring their kids with heart-to-heart conversations, they bark orders at them, find constant criticism and the child passes on the bullying.'

Solutions to Help Children Deal with Bullies:

* Never show fear before the bully. 'Don't respond to him, but don't run from him,' Rabbi Shmuley says. 'Just go about your normal business as if he or she is not there.'

* Make it clear to the bully that you wi"
