THE BULLY PROBLEM
A wave of research over the past two decades has documented bullying’s harmful and lasting impact on children of all ages.

Some anti-bullying programs have gotten good results, some haven’t, and the jury is still out on others. In this article, Amy Wilson surveys the bullying research and looks at what schools have done recently to try to address bullying among their students.
