Beyond Bullying: Transforming the Culture of Peer Abuse
Fried, Suellen
Journal of Applied Research on Children, v4 n1 Article 19 2013
Bullying needs to be understood and positioned as a form of child abuse -- peer abuse. For too many people, bullying is a benign term. This article will include information collected from a wide-range of researchers and discussions with over 50,000 students that I have facilitated during the past twenty years. The content will focus on new morbidities related to bullying such as depression and suicide, obesity, eating disorders, food allergies, juvenile diabetes, truancy, and substance and alcohol abuse. Making a cultural change in our society will require identified Change Agents, along with recommendations for collaboration, policies, projects and legislation.
