ROTARY DISTRICT 6060 VTT - SPRING 2014

• Findings Students need open discussions of how they would define bullying, rather than just teasing, in their school environment. Students would benefit from programs aimed at recognizing individuals’ strengths. Students need to gain awareness of the impact of sarcasm and name-calling, and to create

dialogues about how to change this cultural behavior (especially among girls). Students need education in methods of problem-solving and mediation Students have a strong desire to gain the skills to manage bullying problems within their own

circles, with teachers, administrators, and parents reinforcing the students’ efforts in the school and general

community.
