Dateline - Bullying
I'm going to record this tonight.
Anyone else worried about bullying in years to come? I want to know how I can teach Abe not to be a bully, how to handle it if he is bullied, and how not to be a bystander.
It makes me think of the mean girls in high school. Such assholes. And look at them now! Skanks.
Re: Dateline - Bullying
I have been doing bullying prevention programming for the past decade, and the scary thing is- it's not going away. Kids are so plugged in- at least when we were little we could get away from the mean girls. Now it's hard for kids to get away.
I think the first step to making sure your kid doesn't grow up to exhibit bullying behaviors is to treat kids with respect, not to use lots of sarcasm and to choose non-violent methods of consequences.
I think a big part of preventing bullying is to change the norm in schools. In reality 85% of kids in schools are not targets of bullying- yet allow it to continue. We just have to find a way to empower those kids to use their power and change the norms.
(steps off soapbox now)
What? That takes away all my witty banter!
