Bullying is a term that has become commonly used as a part of conversations among young people and their peers both in real life and online. In the past few decades there has been an uptick in recognizing, researching, and naming bullying in public and private sectors while striving to support those who have been impacted by the aggressive behaviors related to bullying and peer victimization. This is especially prevalent in schools as the CDC currently reports that 1 in 5 teenagers report being bullied in school and 1 in 6 teenagers report being bullied online. That percentage increases when we discuss students who are a minority in their community. Most schools will report that they have some kind of anti-bullying precedent or curriculum, but repeated perpetrations and the damage caused by such behaviors still remains. Episode 3 of Season 4 provides a very nuanced and detailed discussion about the topic of childhood bullying. In this episode, Jerry and I are joined by Boston University professors and bullying prevention experts, Melissa Holt, Ph.D and Jennifer Greif Green, Ph.D. Topics discussed include clarifying what bullying is and is not, what contributes to kids bullying their peers, how bullying could affect an individual, and how we can help children who are involved in bullying either as a perpetrator or a target. Drs. Holt and Green were Jerry’s mentors during his time at BU during his doctoral training and this episode is a testament to their work together as it comes full circle in the discussion of bullying research.Be curious.
