What Is Bullying?What Is Bullying?
“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 other students.”
What Is Bullying?What Is Bullying?
• Bullying can include:• Hitting • Name-Calling• Threatening• Excluding someone from a group• Destroying someone’s properties
• Bullying is a learned behavior, evident as
early as two years of age– thus this is an issue that can be addressed starting as early as Pre/Elementary school
What Is Bullying?What Is Bullying?
• Direct Bullying• Can usually be seen and felt readily
• Indirect Bullying• Is much more difficult to identify• More difficult to remedy
• Boys are more typically engaged in direct bullying and girls in indirect bullying but that is not always the case
Relational Aggression Relational Aggression
• A form of indirect bullying
• Relational aggression (RA) is used to cause damage to relationships or social status within a group rather than using physical violence
• Proactive RA is a means for achieving a goal (excluding a girl to maintain your own social status)• Preplanned and
calculated• No remorse shown• Intellectually driven
• Reactive RA is a defensive response to provocation with intent to retaliate (a child is teased and then becomes a teaser himself)
Relational AggressionRelational Aggression
• RA includes• Intimidating
• Spreading Rumors
• Betrayal
• Humiliation
• Excluding someone from a group
• Switching seats in the classroom or cafeteria
• RA can usually be seen amongst girls but is not limited to this group
CYBER BULLYINGCYBER BULLYING• Cyber bullying (CB) is when a child, preteen or teen is
tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive or digital technologies or mobile phones
• CB has to have a minor or both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor.
• Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking. Adult cyber-harassment/stalking is NEVER called cyber bullying (stopcyberbullying.org)
CYBER BULLYINGCYBER BULLYING
• Direct attacks• Messages sent to kids directly
• Cyber Bullying by Proxy• Using others to help cyber bully the victim either with
or without the accomplice’s knowledge
• Because Cyber Bullying by Proxy often gets adults involved in the harassment, it is much more dangerous
CYBER BULLYINGCYBER BULLYING• The methods used are limited only by the
child’s imagination and access to technology
• Kids often change roles, going from victim to bully and back again
• When schools try to get involved by disciplining the student for cyber bullying actions that take place off-campus and outside of school hours, they are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student’s free speech right; they also, often lose!
CYBER BULLYINGCYBER BULLYING
• Schools can be very effective brokers in working with parents to stop and remedy cyber bullying situations
• They can also educate the students on cyber-ethics and the law. If schools are creative, they can sometimes avoid the claim that their actions exceeded their legal authority for off-campus cyber bullying actions
What Do the Numbers Say?What Do the Numbers Say?
• In a nationally representative study of students in grades 6-10, 29.9% of students were involved in bullying
