How do we stop bullying?

Question

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Can you add comments giving a for instance? Hard to answer such an open question....thanks.

Answer 2

expell them from school

Answer 3

Great question.

One thing we must do as a society is to come to terms with the causes of bullying...which often are low self esteem, parental abuse and a history of being bullied.  

We also need to teach children good communication skills and proper ways to stay safe.

Answer 4

Well I think schools need to start making heavy examples out of children who bully. Perhaps exposing them and expelling them from school. Not letting them get into ANY school in the district without the children going through anger management and peer acceptance classes- that the parents HAVE TO pay for, by law.

I think most parents would put more effort into raising nicer children if they knew they'd be footing a huge bill for bad behavior.

Answer 5

i dont think itll ever happen hun..no matter how much we try

Answer 6

We need to work with the school and parents need to part of their kids lives. Not just sending them to all kinds of activities and buying them things. But by spending time with our kids and being good role models. Many parents in our area do not get involved with their kids. They are there but not doing anything with them.

Answer 7

There are many organizations out there that can help with the bullying issue. If you have a child who is being bullied or would just like information on ways to prevent it, I found Kidscape (www.kidscape.org.uk) to be a useful source. I'm researching a presentation on them at the moment.

Their ZAP weekend courses seem particularly useful, and they have a list of the things they do on those days that might give you some ideas. Here's the link: http://www.kidscape.org.uk/zap/detailout...

These sessions are to help individuals who are being bullied but also build assertiveness and support networks to prevent bulling in general.

Answer 8

Schools and parents should work together in this and parents of the bullies should take that seriously.

When my eldest was being bullied at school (by a teacher - verbally) I went up and sorted it out.

On the other hand when my third got involved with a gang of bullies at the school I caned him (something that the school could no longer do then) and warned all of them that the same would happen to them if they got involved in such in any way.

There is no excuse for bullying and it ruins many lives if not stamped out early.

Answer 9

Bring back punishments in school... Bring back Capital punishment (In England) perhaps people will think twice before they set out to make trouble and do crimes and bully.

Answer 10

just stop bullying in general?

Answer 11

Teach kids about respect...what it's like to give and receive respect and what the consequences of not giving it.

Answer 12

It's as old as time, but children aren't born that way...they are usually bullied at home, so they bully elsewhere...parents have to stop first, teach their children, and maybe some day.....

Answer 13

Hold people accountable for their actions starting with the criminal politicians all the way down to the scumbag prisoners.When people are actually made to pay for their crimes things may calm down but while we are allowed to live in a society where it's everyone else's fault
