Preferred term

school-based bullying prevention  

Definition

  • Bullying is one of the most pervasive forms of juvenile misbehavior often constituting delinquency and sometimes crime. Although acts intended to ridicule and intimidate others have historically been largely ignored and considered a fairly normative aspect of child and adolescent social development, bullying has emerged during the last 20 years as a serious social problem.
