Part I: Conflict and Bullying
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
Definition of Conflict
• A clash between two
individuals or groups

argument about
something important

Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
When It’s Bullying

• Intent to harm

sustained

adults

changing behaviors
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
Types of Bullying Behavior:
and common characteristics of their perpetrators
• Traditional Bullying
• Clueless Bullying
• Bully-Victim Alternation
• Popular Bullying
• Being a “Facebook Thug”
The agent generally has less empathy,
patience, caring, and forgiveness for others.
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
Common Characteristics or Behaviors of
Youth Who Are Bullied
• They are more sensitive, unhappy, cautious,
anxious, quiet and withdrawn than other youth.
• They are generally insecure and non-assertive, and
react by withdrawing when targeted by other students
(rather than retaliating or asserting).
• They exhibit sudden change in behaviors: showing
signs of depression, not eating, cutting, letting
themselves go, losing interest in favorite things,
quitting teams, etc.
• They may be embarrassed to admit being bullied.
They may blame themselves or feel guilty.

“harm others through damage (or the
threat of damage) to relationships or
feelings of acceptance, friendship, or
group inclusion.”
Relational Aggression
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
Indirect Aggression allows the
perpetrator to avoid confronting the
target directly, making it seem as
though there is no intent to harm.
Indirect Aggression
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)

to damage self esteem or social
status within a group.

Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
V.O.M.P. Conflict Tool
• Voice – Each person has the opportunity to VOICE their feelings
and experience of the conflict using “I” statements. The other person
LISTENS before sharing their experience.
• Own – Each person takes ownership of their piece in the conflict.
“Here’s my contribution to the mess.”
• Mile – Each person “walks a mile” in the other person’s shoes
and tries to see the conflict from the other person’s perspective.
• Plan – Both people work together to make a plan for moving
forward. What can we do so this doesn’t happen again? What will we
do differently next time?
