Student Peer Bullying - A Brief Overview of the Problem and Some Associated Myths
"Over the past few years the news media has
increasingly highlighted the problem of peer
bullying in schools. Within school communities
there is a considerable divergence of opinion
as to how it should be viewed and what should
be done to address it. Research in the area
of bullying began to flourish following the
pioneering work of Dan Olweus in the early
1970s and has sufficient depth to provide
considerable direction to schools. In the last 20
years, a number of researchers in New Zealand
and Australia have contributed substantially
to the growing body of knowledge. This article
takes a brief overview of the problem and
examines a number of the associated myths
about bullying, in the light of recent research."
