ABSTRACT

The people who see or are aware of the bullying going on have as much of a responsibility to do something about it as the people directly involved. Dealing with bullying in secondary school was very different. Anti-bullying training is minimal in teacher-training courses, if it is included at all. If dealing with bullying in schools is to be effective, it needs to start from the top and trickle down. Quite often a bully is a victim of bullying too and craves the power their bully feels over them, and therefore makes the conclusion that the only way they are going to achieve this is by doing some bullying themselves. Bullying is a huge problem and is getting worse now with the internet, its taken on a life of its own and is taking the lives of kids with bright futures.
