Bullying

This issue guide provides a brief overview of the bullying issue and outlines three approaches to addressing this public issue. Although bullying is often thought of as only a school-related problem, in reality it affects us all. Bullies can be students, parents, teachers, administrators, work colleagues, or others in the community. Likewise, bullying can occur at school, at work, at church, or at other community functions. Today, most states have legislation requiring schools to address bullying, yet it remains prevalent in our schools, workplaces, and communities.
