ABSTRACT

In this article the authors report on the findings of the Youth Voice research project, which aimed at addressing the best ways to prevent bullying in schools. The authors describe surveying thousands of frequently-bullied students in middle schools and high schools and asking them what strategies helped them to prevent bullying and deal with the bullying in a positive way. The results of the survey show that the best way to prevent bullying usually involves seeking help from friends and adults; less effective methods include managing the problem on one's own and reminding oneself that fault lies with the bully, not the victim. Also discussed are ways that school staff members and peers can help prevent bullying.
