Peer Bullying in Schools: A Cognitive Behavioral Intervention Program

Abstract

Students face few problems in schools. Some of these conlicts may be deined with the bullying concept. The concept of bullying is deined as "to repetitively expose a student/ students to negative efects of another student or students." "Negative efects" includes students geting disturbed as well as geting hurt from the same kind of negative behavior; it also may be done by atempting to hurt someone, deliberately harming someone verbally or physically. Bullying behavior should include an "inequivalent power" between opponents and this needs to be "permanent" and "intentional." Bullying at school afects lots of students around the schools who witness bullying behavior in diferent dimensions; thus, it is an important problem that needs to be prevented.

Second, cognitive behavioral therapy and its use in preventing bullying will be briely explained. Finally, the context of a cognitive-behavioral based peer bullying intervention program.

School Interventions for Bullying–Cyberbullying Prevention in Adolescents: Insights from the UPRIGHT and CREEP Projects
