Studies on
bullying have been done around the
world. Norway, Sweden, France, Ireland,
Japan, Denmark, United States, Canada,
England and Germany have all conducted
research into the problems of bullying
and its effects on education and on society
in general.
There are
conclusions that we can make from this
research. Bullying will only be
stopped by the intervention of adults in
authority positions, such as educators and
parents. Victims of bullying must have a
support system that makes them feel safe and
comfortable in order to report intimidation
to those authority figures.
