Youth Bullying
In response to adolescent bullying, Child Trends, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research center that studies children at all stages of development, recently released a report entitled, “Assessing Bullying: A Guide for Out-of-School Time Program Practitioners.” The brief provides information on who is most likely to be a bully or victim, how to know when conflict has turned into bullying, and ways to reduce bullying. The report also includes specific questions to assess students’ tendencies to bully others, to be victimized by bullying, and to be pro-social and help others.
