Have you ever heard someone say, “They are just being kids?” Has anyone ever told you, “I’m sure they will grow out of it?” According to two online studies published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine and the Archives of General Psychiatry, boys who bully their peers as a children are more likely to commit intimate partner violence (IPV) as adults. In a sample of 1,491 men from ages 18 to 35 the study found that men who are violent have increased gray matter volume in their mesolimbic reward systems.
Rather than ignoring bullying use PSW’s Student Bullying Reporting System. It provides 24/7 online and telephone systems with built-in communication tools that immediately notify school administrators when an issue is reported. How often do your students/parents report bullying? Do you have a way to track bullying issues in order to address them before the situation gets out of hand? How do you prepare parents and students to deal with bullying? Share your answers to these questions by joining the discussion on our Facebook page.
