Bullying continues to be a serious problem that schools struggle with, and sometimes it seems like there is no solution. I’m sure we have all heard of the “zero tolerance” policies when it comes to bullying at school. However, are these policies actually effective? Research suggest that the answer is “no”. So, what are we supposed to do when it comes to bullying? Anti-bullying speakers suggest we try a different approach. Now, there's no “one size fits all” solution for bullying, but there can be general rules of thumb used to target the issue.

Anti-Bullying Speakers – Start with Respect

One of the main causes of bullying today seems to be a lack of respect – both for others and for the bully themselves. If students do not respect their peers, then they will not be inclined to treat them kindly. On top of that, people with low self-respect are more likely to bully others to make themselves feel better. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, both in school and out. Anti-bullying speakers want to help make your school an atmosphere of respect. By cultivating an environment that thrives on respect, it sets the standard for your students. Despite what they may believe, it’s entirely possible to respect their fellow classmates. Let us show them how.
