Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

“Stamping out bullying in the workplace and elsewhere is a vital objective. Not only can bullying make people’s lives a misery, but it harms business and wider society too. So I congratulate the National Bullying Helpline for its efforts to give practical support to those being bullied, and to make bullying a thing of the past”.

New Study helps to Stop Bullying, Teasing, Intimidation and Name Calling:

A new study aimed at young children revealed that, it is young girls that are more  prone to taking on the role of the victim of bullying than  that of boys. It is the closeness of their friendships that can make it difficult to escape this victim role.

It was also revealed that children with emotional problems and children from rigid hierarchies seemed more at risk from relational bullying.

These findings depict vital implications for teachers and other professionals that work closely with children.

“These findings call for the development and implementation of intervention programmes that can tackle victimization at the earliest age in primary schools”
