Anti-Bullying at Schools

Course

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behaviour among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behaviour is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Despite repeated European and country initiatives, bullying in schools remains a persistent problem recognised by the United Nations as a major factor in damaging the wellbeing and overall attainment of children and young people, including absence from school. Although there is variation between countries, on average across Europe approximately 40% of children and young people experience being bullied in school. New forms of bullying through social media are adding to the problem which has a long term psycho-social effect and is a major cause of teenage suicide.
