Well duhI could have told you this: Los Angeles: Contrary to popular opinion, school bullies do not suffer from low self-esteem and are often popular and considered "cool" by their classmates, a new study has found.Here is what is truely frightening: Most anti-bullying programs in schools were based on the belief that bullies picked on others because they had low self-esteem, Dr Juvonen said. Attention should focus on how to discourage support for bullying behaviour by other students, she said.So let me get this straight. Instead of smacking these bullies around and telling them to cut the crap, we're to end bullying by trying to convince a majority of the students who is and who isn't cool? Isn't that only going to make the bullies seem cooler? |
