Bullying at School and Online
- Share to:
Bullying is an ever-present problem in the lives of school kids. There is not a day that goes by where we don't hear from parents about a cruel bullying story ‒ the 1st Grade Boy trapped in the Boys Bathroom, the 3rd Grade girl who is excluded from her former friends during every recess, the 5th Grade Boy who came home with a sign taped to his back that read "call me weirdo," or the 8th Grade girl who was the victim of an untrue rumor that she had sex. This could be your child? ‒ one out of three students are bullied every year. Parents of bystanders, children who bully, and victims all must take a proactive stand against these statistics by getting involved in their school and in their community.
Our hope at Education.com is that this Quick Facts PDF Book summarizing our research based special edition: www.education.com/special-edition/bullying will provide insight into what can be done to reduce the destructive behaviors and conditions that cause bullying.
We've partnered with two leading national organizations in hopes of reaching as many parents as we can with this quick guide ‒ the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) and NortonTM Security Software. The AASA’s membership includes over 70% of America’s superintendents and is dedicated to helping our schools provide the best educational resources to help our children be successful in all facets of their school lives. Norton is a trusted leader of Internet safety products, including their recently announced Norton Online Family product that provides parents with the tools to connect with and protect their children online. Norton recognizes the interconnection between bullying at school and online, and is committed to reducing all forms of bullying.
Finally, we wish to acknowledge our guest editors, world-renowned in the field of bullying. Shelley Hymel, Ph.D. (Professor and Chair of the Department of Educational and Counseling, Psychology, and Special Education at The University of British Columbia) and Susan Swearer, Ph.D. (Associate Professor, Licensed Psychologist, and Co-Director of the Nebraska Internship Consortium in Professional Psychology) made these parent quick facts possible by inviting bullying researchers from all over the world to generously contribute research based articles and ensuring that long standing myths on bullying would not be propagated.
