Tactics to Stop Bullying in K-12 Schools

A recent study found there’s a divide between the perceptions of students and teachers when it comes to bullying: Nearly 80% of educators polled felt their school was ready to deal with bullying and cyberbullying, but only 60% of students agreed. Today’s youth live in a digital world, and as a result, bullying is as portable as the devices in their pockets. All this can have grave consequences.

With student mental health already at an all time low, studies have shown that anxiety and depression can be made worse by bullying. Victims of cyberbullying report higher rates of depression than other forms of bullying. Even if they’re not the target of the bullying, seeing bullying happen can make students feel unsafe and distract them from their academics.

Given that bullying of any kind can be detrimental to a child’s mental health, grades, and behavior, it’s imperative that K-12 schools work to stop and prevent bullying in all forms.
