BYSTANDERS:
Often times, bullies gain power
through public display. This is why
bystanders play such a huge role in
perpetuating bullying. By not saying
anything, bystanders are actually
encouraging bullying behavior.
BIBLIOTHERAPY:
The use of books is a great way to
curve bullying behavior. Good books
should promote kindness,
inclusiveness, and empathy among
people. Bibliotherapy is not only
cost-effective, but it can be tailored
to whatever perspective or topic you
would like to teach about. With
literature on bullying, it is important
to pick books that show multiple
perspectives. Select books that
show not only the targeted victims
perspective, but also that of the
bully and bystanders.
