Anti-Bullying Efforts

Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself (Olweus, 2007). Anti-Bullying efforts are attempts to decrease bullying, the impact it has on students and efforts to create a safe and supportive environment.
