COURSE DURATION: 5 DAYS

When one or more pupils purposefully and persistently harass another student, the victim is helpless to defend himself. This sort of hostility is known as bullying. Several decades of research show that bullying is a severe threat to a child’s healthy development, and it is particularly prevalent in schools. Bullying has long-term impacts on children’s mental health and social development that extend far beyond the school years. As a result, there is a significant danger that these effects will persist into adulthood. Both bullies and victims suffer when they engage in bullying behavior. Students who have been bullied are more likely to suffer from anxiety, rage, and powerlessness, as well as depression, a hate of school and lower grades, a sense of inadequacy and despair, and social isolation. There are five categories of bullying described. Physical bullying, verbal bullying, exclusion, isolation, rumor spreading, and damage to an individual’s property and belongings are all examples of this type of bullying.

Teachers may learn how to deal with bullying in schools and how to resolve conflicts among kids in our courses.
