Women were offered little of no help or support. They are often told to solve the problem themselves. It is unfortunate that in many schools children feel they are alone in facing this problem. We must develop solutions to the problems related to violence in our schools. No student should be afraid to attend school and no parent should worry about the safety of their child while in school.
Fear becomes a part of everyday life for the victim.
Along with the victim, the bully also needs help. Attitudes toward bullying must be changed. Evidence indicates that adoption of intervention strategies show a promise in alleviating the problem. To be effective, any prevention program requires the involvement of teachers, other school personnel, students and parents in a comprehensive, systematic manner. In order to have a successful school-based intervention program certain measures must be taken.
