Children′s Views of Bullying

Abstract

Describes a draw and write project on bullying in six inner‐London primary schools. Summarizes children′s views on topics such as what bullies look like, what they do, how bullied children feel and why some children are bullies. Concludes that children believe that bullies often behave the way they do because they are reacting inappropriately to some injustice they have suffered themselves, and that schools need to help children vent their anger in safe and constructive ways. Encourages schools to tackle the emotional health of their pupils through a planned and well resourced personal, social and health education curriculum.
