Description
"Bullying and victimization in schools have become major concerns for parents, teachers, and school psychologists" (Left, Kupersmidt, & Patterson, 1999, p. 505). Elementary and middle school teachers likely have seen students bully each other, so it is important that they notice the characteristics associated with being bullied and recognize bullying in all its forms: physical verbal, and psychological (Olweus, 2003). This knowledge will help teachers take action in bullying situations and resolve these conflicts. The negative outcomes of bullying can be seen in the relationship between bullying behavior and school issues, such as academic achievement, school bonding, and absenteeism (Dake, Price, & Telljohan, 2003). Even just the initial stages of bullying can bring about changes in the victimized students' actions and demeanor: students may be afraid to walk home or even go to lunch, because they do not feel safe outside of the classroom. Other students may sit at their desks and just stare off into the distance, not paying attention to the teacher or to anything that is going on. Students may develop health problems as a result of bullying (Fekkes, Pijpers, Fredriks, Vogels, & Verloove-Vanhorick, 2006).
