ABSTRACT
Bullying is a serious problem in schools today. Most programs that deal with bullying are adult-driven and dependent. Inspired by the students in one middle school, the authors ask if student-driven anti-bullying programs exist and are effective. The scope and consequences of bullying is reported. Research-based responses to bullying are explored and arguments that support more fully incorporating students into these anti-bullying campaigns is presented. Rationale and strategies for student-driven bullying programs are provided and implications for research discussed.
