Editor's Notes
- They may have problems, loss of pleasure, having fun, engaging in activities that they once thought were fun. We know they can have physical consequences. Bullying doesn’t involve only those doing the bullying and those being bullied. Bullying involves and affects the entire school community.
- Children who are bullied are at an increased risk of developing anxiety disorders and depression when they become adults, according to a new study published in JAMA Psychiatry. And then we followed them up into young adulthood, ages 19, 21, and 25, to see—to look—at their emotional/behavioral functioning. And what we saw is that the pure victims had elevated rates of anxiety disorders, things like agoraphobia, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety. These issues may persist into adulthood• not have friends • seem over-sensitive or weepy • have angry outbursts

- Overall, school-based antibullying programs are effective, leading to an average decrease in bullying of 20 to 23 percent and in victimization of 17 to 20 percent.
- A 2009 study found the risk for psychotic symptoms nearly doubled among children who were victims of bullying at age 8 or 10 years, independent of other psychiatric illness, family adversity, or the child's IQ, and increased nearly 4-fold when victimization was chronic or severe (Schreier, A, et al., 2009) Principals and teachers should communicate with the treating professional to ascertain whether the child is willing to grow in the virtues that can decrease excessive anger such as forgiveness, respect, generosity, charity and kindness. Given the severe harm caused to children by excessive bullying, if the angry child is unwilling to change and children at the school are being harmed by his/her anger, then we recommend that the parents be informed that the child must be removed from the school. This intervention can be effective not only in protecting innocent children, but also in helping the angry, defiant child to realize that there are strong negative consequences to bullying behaviors. Also, such a strong correction may be the prime motivating factor that finally leads an angry child to change abusive behaviors and to grow in virtues in the pursuit of a healthy personality.

- Protective factors are important in recognising and drawing upon the strengths of the child, family, school and community. These factors can provide the necessary protection in the face of other aspects of adversity to maintain good mental health and wellbeing, or to help a child with mental health difficulties return to and maintain a state of wellbeing – a capacity often referred to as resilience. Reslience is always important, but it can particularly equip people for times of change and stress such as: life transitions and changes, such as starting at a new school after the breakdown of a relationship, or a family if diagnosed with, or worried about a mental health problem (such as anxiety, or an eating disorder)

- Andre Sourander, the lead researcher, noted that information about the long-term effects of bullying had considerable public health significance
- Andre Sourander, the lead researcher, noted that information about the long-term effects of bullying had considerable public health significance. The researchers, led by William E. Copeland, Ph.D., of Duke University Medical Center, evaluated the impact that childhood bullying can have on both the victim and the perpetrator in later life. They wanted to determine whether it can be predictor of psychiatric problems in adulthood.
- Children with high anxiety levels also report lower levels of social acceptance and self-esteem. By age 20, those who had experienced chronically high levels of anxiety during childhood were significantly less likely to have graduated from high school than their peers.
- IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR TEACHERS TO ADDRESS ALL ISSUES WITH PRESSING ACADEMIC CONCERNSThis might help if you… want to know more about yourself don’t understand other people’s reactions to stuff you’re doing feel like you’re weird or different want to be more confident want better self-esteem children were taught the long-term benefits of trying to master their anger by growth in the virtue of forgiveness and their selfishness by growth in the virtues of generosity, self-control and self-denial.

- Communication Skills are the key to developing (and keeping!) friendships and to building a strong social support network. They also help you take care of your own needs, while being respectful of the needs of others. People aren’t born with good communication skills; like any other skill, they are learned through trial and error and repeated practice!
- Signs of resilience and wellbeing confidence to approach new situations and approach new people realistic optimism avoiding constant self-blame ability to set goals positive self image and self esteem
- You know how many people like to define themselves as being either a “glass half-full” or “glass half-empty” kind of personThe kind of mindset you have can really shift the way you approach your everyday life. And the good news is, your mindset is not set in stone; there are things that you can do shift your mindset so that you’re getting the most out of it.
- With a growth mindset, the actual process of learning is enjoyed. Those with a growth mindset believe they can become smarter and learn more through their mistakes and perseverance. Those with a growth mindset see challenges, set-backs and failures as opportunities to learn and improve their knowledge and skills. With a growth mindset who you are is constantly changeable. The greatest accomplishments are met through dedication, patience and effort. Effort is what ignites ability and turns it into accomplishment.
- For example, believing that they’re a ‘creative’ type or an ‘athletic’ type etc practice negative self-talk by saying things like “I can’t do it.”
- I explain how to nurture this deeper type of strength (resilience) in children so they can move forward with positive expectations and see their potential, versus staying stuck in a false belief. So my suggestion is to keep nudging your children to "see" their strengths, develop them into skills and believe that things will work out for them, whether it is today, tomorrow or the next day.
