Middle School Bullying: Prevention Strategies And Collaborations
Middle school bullying involves various entities working to prevent it. Students, bullies, and victims play direct roles, while bystanders, educators, administrators, and organizations have semi-direct involvement. Support and oversight come from external entities like education departments and government agencies. Collaboration and evidence-based strategies are crucial. Despite challenges, ongoing efforts are essential to create a safe and supportive school climate for all students.
