“…Second, we could not account for other potential predictors (eg, bullying, environment) that were not available in the MEPS database. Recent studies showed electronic bullying and particular matter air pollution are associated with chronic absenteeism . Therefore, these potential risk factors should be considered to predict chronic absenteeism.…”

BACKGROUND From 5 to 7.5 million schoolchildren are chronically absent, defined as missing ≥15 days of school within a year. Students miss schools due to various reasons such as health, socioeconomic status, and environmental factors. We examined child's health and behavior, family structure, and sociodemographics to understand chronic absenteeism. METHODS The population included children ages 6 to 17 years from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey years 2008‐2013. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify the risk factors of chronic absenteeism, adjusting for the complex sampling design. RESULTS Among sociodemographic variables, age ≥14 years, race/ethnicity, lower‐income family, public health insurance, US born, and speaking English at home were associated with absenteeism. Asians, Mexican Hispanics, and blacks have lower absenteeism than whites. Among health‐related variables, children using an inhaler for asthma, having behavioral problems, and less healthy than other children were more likely to be chronically absent. Among family variables, a smaller family size was a risk factor for absenteeism. CONCLUSIONS Asthma and behavioral problems were highly associated with chronic absenteeism. The identification of children at risk for chronic absenteeism will help the educational professionals identify the barriers to academic achievements and develop integrated educational interventions and policies to support disadvantaged children.

“…Our patient was unwilling to go to school, and her academic performance had declined. Poor attendance due to unwillingness to attend and fear of school has been shown to be significantly associated with cyber bullying (Grinshteyn & Yang, ). Although cyber bullying resembles traditional forms of bullying, it also exhibits potentially threatening differences.…”

“…Victims have demonstrated loneliness and depressive mood (Olenik-Shemesh, Heiman, & Eden, 2012) lower self-esteem and higher levels of depression and suicide . Cyber victimisation has also been linked to school absenteeism and academic problems (Grinshteyn & Yang, 2017;Tsitsika et al, 2015). Being a cyber bully has been linked to conduct problems, low prosocial behaviour and not feeling safe in school (Sourander et al, 2010), while bully-victims are shown to have increased risk of mental health problems (Kowalsi & Limber, 2013).…”

Schools have a duty of care to all students and to directly prevent and intervene with bullying amongst children and adolescents. The emergence of cyberbullying escalates this responsibility as the strategies that have become appropriate at national levels for bullying do not always parallel over to online environments. The impact on mental health is the most obvious concern for those responsible for reducing bullying, however, input from psychologists and mental health professionals is scant and often limited on this topic. This paper outlines what bullying is and the devastating impact it can have on the mental health of those involved. It will outline the most common anti-bullying initiatives as well as the current psychological and educational techniques, which could also be used to alleviate distress associated with bullying involvement. We will focus specifically on the role of mindfulness techniques and argue for more of such exercises to be included in whole-school bullying programmes. We conclude by arguing the need to investigate components relevant to both mindfulness and anti-bullying programmes (e.g., empathy, perspective-taking) as active ingredients for reducing the impact of bullying on mental health.
