The awareness lead to the creation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) in the 1970's. This made leaps and bounds in reducing school bullying and initiated other professionals to conduct research, as well as vastly expand the meaning of bullying (Koo, 2007). After years of struggling on independent works to stop bullying, the government finally takes a stand. Legislators have implemented programs such as "No Child Left Behind" linking school funding to school safety laws, forcing schools to implement new laws against bullies (New America Foundation, 2013).
Types of Bullying.
People's perspectives often change when presented with new information which is why I was eager enough to give a brief summary of history of bullying above, but misconceptions still remain from our past that we must identify and eliminate. Surprisingly, bullying is still viewed as a natural behavior (Pacer center, 2011). Intense aggressive behavior is tossed off with a "boys will be boys" remark and moved on from, not at all inspected for permanent damage done to a child (Pacer center, 2011). It is not normal for boys to be physically or verbally aggressive with each other. Words can hurt you and have to younger ones more easily affected by "innocent" name calling. Words can leave deep emotional scars that can have lifelong implications (Pacer center, 2011). No child deserves this treatment. These young minds will one day grow up into your shoes, and don't you wish you were treated with kindness and respect growing up. Bullying does not make kids tougher; in fact it lowers self-esteem and self-worth and creates fear and anxiety (Pacer center, 2011). The definition of tattling needs to be re-examined. To tattle on someone is too purposely try to get someone into trouble. Telling a teacher about abuse is to help others (Pacer center, 2011). Pride is also a concept not foreign to the young mind, as they may never tell when they are getting bullied (Pacer center, 2011).
