Sarris Dimitrios, Georgios Vrakas, Panagoula Papadimitropoulou

Abstract


School bullying is a significant problem affecting high school students. This article provides an overview of the causes and consequences of bullying, as well as prevention and coping strategies. The literature review includes a discussion of different types of bullying (Bradshaw, Waasdorp, & Johnson, 2015), individual, family, peer, and school-related factors that contribute to bullying (Espelage & Swearer, 2010; Olweus, 2013), and the physical and psychological harm that results from bullying (Bradshaw et al., 2015). The article concludes with a discussion of different interventions to prevent and cope with bullying, including whole-school approaches, targeted interventions, and peer support programs (Bradshaw et al., 2015; Espelage & Swearer, 2010).
