I don’t think it can be prevented. There have always been bullies. There will always be bullies.

You also encounter bullies as an adult.

Teach children respect. To respect themselves and others.

We don’t have much bullying my school; though it is a small one. From experience, I know that bullies are usually reacting to how the rest of the world treats them- a sort of ‘hurt before getting hurt’ attitude. Encouraging class unity by bonding exercises and games could help. My class went on a retreat for a week, somewhere out in the middle of nowhere, and we got to know each other really well.

You can’t. It’s part of growing up. Actually, the best thing we can do is teach our children to keep their inadequacies to themselves. In this age of ‘diversity’ and ‘acceptance’, we’ve told kids to voice their problems to anyone who’ll listen. That is the worst thing that any kid can do. It’s human nature to pick on people, so admitting that you’re gay, dressing like a Goth, or not conforming in any way is asking to be bullied. Parents need to teach their kids to conform, that’s the best defense.

Twenty years ago, kids knew enough to keep their mouths shut and fit in. What you are suggesting is doing a 180 from a million years of evolution in one generation.

Maybe the victims should start doing a little self-examination and asking what they have done to bring the bullying upon themselves. I don’t get mugged anymore because I made a decision to move out of that area. I asked myself, ‘what am I doing that causes black people to accost me?’ The answer was living in proximity to them, so I moved. I didn’t try to change them, I made a change. Get it?

adults within the institution should have a more proactive role in preventing bullying.

also, having a good seminar of the effects of bullying be given to students.
