Stopping bullying in schools
Counselling to bullies in schoolshelps to combat bullying.
Another
way to combat bullying is to start
anti-violence programme in
schools.
Teach students to treat others
with respect and kindness. Teach
the child that it is wrong to ridiculedifferences (race,
religion,
appearance, special needs,
gender or economic status).
Bring students, teachers, and
school professionals to address
the issue of bullying, explore the
effect of bullying on the schoolatmosphere.
Distribute a questionnaire that
asks students, parents, and
teachers to describe any bullying
that they are aware of in their
school. The results from the
questionnaire can be used to
conduct a bullying awareness
campaign.In class strategies
Teachers can work with students
at the class level to develop rules
against bullying. Teach bullies
alternative methods of interaction,
implement cooperative learning
activities to reduce social isolation. An effective strategy to
reduce
bullying is to create a clearly stated
policy that defines bullying, outlines
how teachers and school staff
should act and how incidents are
to be dealt with after they occur.
ConclusionBullying must be prevented from
rearing its ugly head by the concerted
efforts of all the stakeholders,
namely, parents, teachers,
administration and counsellors.
