Bully Survey – Welcome

Home


Bullying is no longer considered a harmless part of growing up. The detrimental psychological and psychosocial effects of bullying are well-documented. Bullying is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by individual, peer, family, school, cultural, and societal factors. Effective interventions must take these social-ecological factors into account. If we are to reduce bullying behaviors, we must examine bullying and victimization from multiple perspectives.
 

President Obama

“If there's one goal of this conference, it's to dispel the myth that bullying is just a harmless rite of passage or an inevitable part of growing up. It's not.”

Michelle Obama

“So as parents, we know we need to make a real effort to be engaged in our children's lives, to listen to them and be there for them when they need us. We need to get involved in their schools and in their activities so that we know what they're up to, both in and out of the classroom. And when something is wrong, we need to speak up, and we need to take action.”

Susan Swearer

“It's great that the Obama administration is putting a lot of effort into understanding and preventing bullying behaviors in kids. I think certainly drawing national attention to the issue is really important because bullying is really prevalent in a lot of communities.”
