School Bullying by Peter K. Smith

Smith, Peter K. "School bullying" Sociologia, Problemas EPRáticas 71 (2013): 81-98. SocINDEX full text. Web Page April 13, 2014 Peter K. Smith is concentrating on bullying, but he is still working on various types of bullying, including cyber bullying, biased bullying and biased bullying. Through this article, he mentioned four waves of school bullying in the school from the 1970s to the end of this year. He mentioned bullying, studies conducted in Europe aimed at preventing possible causes and risk factors of damage, and providing insight about the prevalence of bullying in schools.

The comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of the 2004 global school bullying prevention program (school bullying: how successful intervention? Editing by Peter K. Smith, Debra Pepler, and Ken Rigby) It was moderately high. In some cases, the intervention failed altogether. First, when bullying was observed, the educators concentrated on taking immediate and strong disciplinary measures. Unfortunately, the problem with this approach is that research shows that bullying rarely happens in front of adults. Instead, bullying happens with the children. The children observed bullying. The teacher did not do. Bullying research also shows that students occasionally report bullying

A few years ago, I was asked to consult me ​​about the bullying from the K - 12 school. This is the time when most schools are implementing "Zero tolerance bullying" policy. In preparation for my presentation, I have studied this topic by reviewing regional and regional bullying policies and technical articles. I was shocked by what I learned. First of all, I found that bullying is everywhere. The statistics are as cumbersome and widespread as today. I can not deny that I am shocked. Here, I am a school counselor with many years of experience at school mental health clinic and school counselor. Of course, I dealt with bullying at my job, but as my research shows, the exhaustive nature of this phenomenon makes me disappointed. The ground of my professional feet began to shake. When I digested information, I felt terrible. How can I be blind?

Bullying is still a serious problem regardless of the type of school of elementary school sixth graders. For example, nearly 25% of the sixth grade at the K - 8 school answered that they are intimidating or bullying other students during the "longest" or "all" period. Still, this is still an improvement for one sixth of a sixth grader who feels this way in 6 - 8 junior high school. At some stage of education, students must experience becoming "bottom dog", but it is best to postpone this condition until the students become first graders of high school. Until then, Mr. Rossbert said it was prudent to keep students "top dog".
