“School bullying” Advice from a psychologist

Bullying (from the English bully - to bully, intimidate) is aggressive persecution of one of the members of the team by the rest of the team members or part of it.

The outsider does not bring home any of his classmates or peers and constantly spends his free time at home completely alone; does not have close friends with whom he spends his leisure time; classmates rarely invite him to birthdays, holidays, or, he himself does not invite anyone to his place, because he is afraid that no one will come;

in the morning he often complains of headaches, an upset stomach, or comes up with some reason not to go to school; thoughtful, withdrawn, eats without appetite, sleeps restlessly, cries or screams in his sleep; he has a pessimistic mood, may indicate that he is afraid to go to school or will commit suicide;

begs or secretly steals money without clearly explaining the reason for his offense; looks like a loser, sudden changes in mood are visible in his behavior. Anger, resentment, irritation, takes out on parents, relatives, weaker objects (younger brothers and sisters, pets);

comes home with minor abrasions and bruises, his things look as if someone wiped the floor with them. Books, notebooks, and school bags are in disrepair; chooses an unconventional route to school.

What exactly can parents do to increase their child’s authority among classmates: Establish contacts with teachers and classmates; participate in class activities; if there is an unusual hobby that is interesting to children, tell your child’s classmates about it;

invite the child’s classmates, and especially those with whom he sympathizes, to visit you as often as possible; increase the child's self-esteem; in cases of high self-esteem of the child, explain to him that this does not need to be shown to others, that every person has both disadvantages and advantages; help the child become a member of the class team, and not just go to study;

do not turn your child against his school activities, even if they seem unnecessary to you; Teach to fulfill general requirements for all children in the class, right down to the dress code in physical education lessons.

Tell the abused child: I believe you. I'm sorry this happened to you. It is not your fault. It's good that you told me about this. I will try to make sure that you are no longer in danger.

Typical traits of students who tend to become bullies (Aggressor) have a strong need to dominate and subjugate other students, thus achieving their goals; impulsive and easily angered; often behave defiantly and aggressively towards adults, including parents and teachers; have no sympathy for their victims; if they are boys, they are usually physically stronger than other boys; children raised in families with an authoritarian, harsh upbringing - being intimidated and downtrodden at home, they try to throw out suppressed anger and fear on weaker peers; children raised in families with a low level of emotional warmth and support (for example, orphans in guardianship families, etc.).

Aggression is a stable characteristic of a person, reflecting his predisposition to behavior whose purpose is to cause harm to others, or a similar emotional state (anger, rage).

Criteria for determining aggressiveness: A CHILD often loses control of himself. A CHILD often argues and quarrels with adults. A CHILD often refuses to follow the rules. A CHILD often annoys people on purpose. A CHILD often blames others for his mistakes. The CHILD often gets angry and refuses to do anything. A CHILD is often envious and vindictive. A CHILD is very sensitive, reacts very quickly to various actions of others, which often irritate him.

How do you express your anger?

Emergency intervention Calm attitude, ignoring minor aggression (so-called graceful grooming). Focusing on actions (behavior), rather than on the child’s personality.

Adults' control of their own negative emotions. (while maintaining partnership) Reducing the tension of the situation.

Discuss the offense after both parties have calmed down, but as soon as possible after the incident, first in private, without witnesses, and then in a group or family. Maintaining a child’s positive reputation among peers.

  • an attitude of indifference towards peer violence; They don't know what to do and don't believe they can help.
  • indifference as an attitude of teachers
What to do? (3 levels of operation)
  • Change the school's policies regarding bullying and strictly enforce the rules. Principle: No case of bullying should go unpunished
  • To teach teachers, primarily class teachers, programs for working with cases of bullying in the classroom. Principle: Early intervention is preferable

  • Apply the “No Blame” technique with the participation of parents
How to work with teachers correctly?
  • Talk about bullying, teach how to recognize markers of bullying
  • Encourage everyone to take a personal stand
  • Talk about the actions of teachers that can unwittingly provoke bullying
  • Tell them what to do
  • Lead a regular supervision group on this issue
Teachers' actions
  • Don't ignore, don't downplay
  • If the school has come to a common understanding and agreement that bullying is a manifestation of violence, then even those who are not direct participants become more sensitive to bullying situations and have the ability to respond appropriately.
Teachers' actions
  • To take a position
  • If a teacher becomes aware of or witnesses an incident of bullying, he should take a clear and unambiguous position and try to ensure that at least the “observers”, and if possible the bully himself, also change their position regarding what is happening, and also explain to them what the psychological consequences are for the victim in this situation.
Teachers' actions
  • Conversation with the class
  • Discuss the case of bullying with the children in the class. Such a conversation will deprive the situation of violence of the veil of “secret”, make it obvious to everyone, help resolve the conflict situation, discuss together the existing rules against bullying or develop new ones. At the same time, the potential of those students who behave positively is actively used.
  • Inform the teaching staff
  • The teaching staff must be aware of the case of bullying and take control of the situation. In especially difficult cases, it is necessary to seek help from outside, for example, to the commission on juvenile affairs, a psychological counseling center, the Council of Fathers, the church, etc.
Teacher's actions
  • Invite parents for a conversation
  • If bullying occurs in primary school, it is especially important to involve parents as early as possible, discuss with them the warning signs of bullying and what response strategies could and should be.
  • Patronage program
  • The system of patronage of older schoolchildren over younger ones creates a communicative space that facilitates faster detection of cases of bullying and the involvement of bosses in resolving such situations.
The first signs of bullying
  • A group of children stand in a tight ring, look around, excitedly discuss something, aggression is felt
  • A student comes to class looking shabby: torn, soiled clothes, bruises, abrasions - signs of a fight
  • The student is alone at all breaks
  • An obedient child suddenly began to be late for school or sit in class after school, waiting for something.
  • No one wants to sit with one of the students; he always completes tasks alone in small groups
A group of children waits for someone in the school yard after school
  • A group of children waits for someone in the school yard after school
  • High school students hang around junior school toilets
  • In a canteen, someone buys food for someone else with their own money.
  • Those who are physically stronger or older constantly “ask for a loan” from younger children or demand to let them call their phone
  • One student takes sportswear (sneakers) from another: “asks” to share
  • A child asks his parents for money - supposedly the school is collecting money for some needs
Actions at the school level I. Increasing the level of communication culture in school: teach everyone how to deal with bullying (improve interaction between students and adults in school)
  • Improving the skills of school administration on the issue of bullying prevention. The school must develop rules of behavior for all students who experience bullying: what to do, where to go, to whom and in what form to report it. Application for the fact of provocation, insult, physical violence, extortion, threats, etc. must be done without fail. The school also creates Anti-bullying committee / Ethics committee, Council of Fathers, Council of justice, etc.
  • Improving the administration's skills in creating a positive school atmosphere
Actions at school level II. Improving the competencies of countering power-hungry behavior among teaching and technical staff of the school
  • Teachers must be able to recognize potential victims of bullying and be vigilant.
  • Students who are bullied should have the right to receive support from teachers when it comes to bullying.
  • Teachers must learn to recognize power seekers and distinguish the degree of severity of aggressive behavior (whether this student is a malicious aggressor).
  • Teachers must learn to confront aggression constructively.
Action at school level
  • Teachers should rely on the counteraction system created at school, including the anti-bullying committee and other structures that provide emergency countermeasures in situations of aggression among children.
  • Teachers need to know what factors contribute to bullying.
Personnel training is carried out systematically in the form of trainings.
  • Personnel training is carried out systematically in the form of trainings.
  • They are intended for all adults in the area of ​​possible conflict: from the bus driver, security guard, cleaning lady to parents, teachers and administration.
III. Formation of constructive behavior in students in case of bullying against them
  • Children must be able and ready to:
  • tell your parents or adults they trust about the bullying incident, for example, a teacher, educator, studio manager, etc.;
  • behave confidently;
  • look for friends among peers and classmates;
  • avoid situations in which bullying is possible;
  • engage in methodical and consistent restoration of your self-esteem with the help of a specialist, if necessary;
  • be persistent and cocky (at least outwardly);
  • do not hope (dream) to take revenge with even greater cruelty and do not use weapons;
  • learning to use humor is the most powerful weapon against verbal aggression.
Methodology
  • Methodology
  • "No charges"
  • (No blame - approach)
Important prerequisites for using the method:
  • Children participating in the “No Charges” procedure should, if possible, not be dependent on the teachers conducting it. Therefore, we recommend inviting outside specialists, for example, social workers, school psychologists, or even school management, to carry out this method.
  • A group of helpers is created to help the victim. Together with these “selected” guys, we search for personal proposals - solutions to stop mobbing.
  • Key message:
    • “I have a big problem due to the fact that one of the students in our class is now having a very bad time. I can't handle this problem on my own! I need help, and I turn to you for this help!”
    Preparation

    • Conversation with the victim's parents
    • Information and training for teachers
    Carrying out
    • Meeting with a group of helpers

    1. First conversation with the victim
    • Interview with the victim (see interview text below)
    • Explain the purpose: to explore what happened, who was involved, and who can provide support.
    • Take the victim’s condition and her fears seriously, and try to reduce the level of fear and anxiety.
    • Do not meet with a group of helpers without the consent of the victim!
    Evelina's case
    • 6 years ago, Eva and her parents moved from Baku to the Moscow region. Since then, she has been attending school here with other children. She speaks Russian without an accent, she has friends. But lately she feels that the two girls whom she considered her main friends have begun to shun her more and more. They almost stopped talking to her and began throwing reproachful and devaluing glances in her direction. They also constantly comment and criticize her clothes. In addition, she feels worse and worse during classes at the school sports club, where, except for the coach, none of the girls talk to her. During bus trips, no one from her class sits next to her, and if she tries to sit next to one of her friends, they declare that the seat is taken. Eva suffers from a feeling of self-doubt and cannot follow her parents' advice to behave more firmly and defend herself from attacks.
    • She has this feeling that no matter what she does, it will be wrong.
    • The situation escalated for Eva when, before a class trip together, the girls told her that if she took part in this event, she would “be worse.” She tried to take time off from classes during this time, but her parents did not support her. Now she increasingly thinks that it would have been better for her not to live at all, she is full of fear and despair.
    • Evelina decided to tell her class teacher about her problem. She took the girl to school psychologist S.I. She asked the girl to tell about her situation in class and in the sports club (the history of bullying). Together they thought about the conditions under which Evelina would still be able to take part in the class’s collective trip. S.I. told Eva how the procedure of the “No Blame” technique is carried out. Eva is very afraid that her situation in class may worsen even more. As a next step, S.I. decides to have a conversation with Eva's parents.
    2. Conversation with the victim's parents
    • Understand the position of the parents Enter into a trusting relationship with the parents (obtain their permission to use the technique)
    • Tell us about the “No Blame” method and its capabilities
    3. Prepare and inform others
    • Informing other teachers
    • Forming a group of about 6 people, which includes both bullers and neutral guys - boys and girls!
    • Event Planning
    Event Planning
    • School psychologist S.I. and the class teacher inform all teachers teaching in Eva’s class about what is happening and form a group of assistants. It includes both instigators of bullying (Clavdia and Irina), two “neutral” girls with good social competence (Svetlana and Natasha), and two boys who were not involved in the bullying situation in any way (Nikolai and Denis).
    4. Meeting with a group of helpers
    • Key message: “I have a big problem due to the fact that one of the students in our class is now having a very bad time. I can't handle this problem on my own! I need help, and I turn to you for this help!”
    • Installation:
    • Explain what the problem is (my problem), without blaming anyone
    • don't discuss the past
    • not to punish anyone, but together to take responsibility for what is happening
    • What can each person in the group do? No promises!
    • Can you do it! transfer responsibility to the group.
    • Talk again in about a week
    • The next morning, the class teacher announced to the children who were part of the group of assistants that after school they would have a group lesson with psychologist S.I. greets the six children gathered and tells them that she is very worried about the fact that one girl from their class is having such a bad time that she is even going to refuse the general trip. The guys immediately ask if we are talking about Eva! S.I. confirms their assumption and reports that Eva has been almost unable to sleep for several weeks now because she feels the general rejection of her class.
    • S.I.: “I can’t solve this problem on my own, so I need your help to make Ava feel better as quickly as possible.” S.I. explains to the guys what her main goal is (see above) in this group work. Claudia and Irina try to defend themselves again and again, not agreeing that things have gone so far.
    • This is not about finding someone to blame, but about finding ways out. Svetlana and Natasha offer to take care of Elena during breaks or in group classes. Nikolai and Denis take care that one of the boys does not suddenly attack Eva. Irina and Claudia first notify S.I. that they are not going to become Eva's best friends. Ira then says that she is going to stop gossiping about Ava with the other girls. Claudia decides that she will try to see Eva less often in the coming weeks, but if they do meet somewhere, she will say hello to her.
    • Psychologist S.I. sequentially carries out the position:
    • S.I. writes down all the guys' suggestions and tells them that in a week she will talk with them again to find out what success they have achieved in implementing their initiatives. S.I. also meets briefly with Ava to inform her that the six assistants are going to do something to help her. She also agrees with her to hold the next meeting in a week.
    5. Second conversation with the victim
    • Find out what changes have occurred and how he is feeling now. Check again what opportunities the victim has to influence the situation.
    • Eva talked about going on a trip with her class. Before this, she had hardly slept, but the day, despite the fatigue, went well. She is also very glad that during breaks Natasha and Svetlana spoke to her several times and even offered her something from their breakfasts. If during lessons the children were divided into groups, then she saw that she was chosen last. But twice the teacher placed her in a group where Nikolai and Denis were, and everything went well. She is proud that she finally took part in the class trip and that she even shared some little things from food or her chewing gum with the guys. She is also going to start communicating more actively with the guys from the parallel class, with whom she has not had any problems so far. And if the situation gets worse again, then she knows that now she can always turn to her class teacher or psychologist S.I. for help.
    6. Individual conversations with each member of the group of assistants
    • A week later, individual conversations are held with all group members:
    • How was your week?
    • What did you manage to do that you planned?
    • How do you think ... (victim's name) is feeling now?
    • What can you say about the other assistants in the group?
    • What other observations do you have regarding this situation?
    • What could be further improved?
    • Do you want to continue participating in this promotion in the future?
    • If it is clear that no positive changes have occurred, conduct individual conversations again after a week.
    • If there is success, repeat meetings after 6 weeks to summarize and final celebration.
    Example:
    • S.I. Conducts individual conversations with all group members, based on the questions above. Nikolai and Denis had the impression that they had not made any active contribution to the development of the situation, and therefore felt useless. S.I. once again reminded them of the important function they perform by protecting Eva among other boys. Claudia behaved very uncertainly in the conversation and was taciturn. It turned out that she was tormented by remorse, since before the start of the action she had repeatedly taken away Eva’s school supplies. She decided to write Eva a small letter of apology, and also buy her a new eraser, ruler and pencils. Irina is dissatisfied with herself because she could not resist gossip. S.I. discussed with her possible strategies for stopping this behavior and suggested that she meet about it in two weeks. Sveta and Natasha happily shared their successes and said that only now they really got to know Eva. The three of them planned to go shopping this weekend.
    7. Summing up
    • Together with the group, look at what has happened over the past week. Celebrate successes with the group (for example, having a tea party, issuing a diploma)
    • After 6 weeks: S.I. I learned from Eva, her parents and the class teacher that the girl felt much better. Now Eva can already fully imagine a trip along the Golden Ring and hopes that she will live in the same room with Natasha and Sveta. Shortly before the start of the summer holidays, S.I. met again with a group of assistants to take stock. A celebratory tea party was organized and everyone was given diplomas in recognition of their contributions to resolving the situation.
    8. Maintaining contact with the victim's family and teacher
    • After some time, inquire again whether the changes achieved are saved.
    • Encourage the victim and their family to seek help if necessary.
    • At the beginning of the next academic year, psychologist S.I. resumed contacts with Eva’s family and her new class teacher and, at intervals of about a month, regularly asked them how the girl was feeling. Everyone knew that if necessary, they could always turn to S.I. The new class teacher was grateful to S.I. for helping her distribute the girls into groups to live on the territory of the autumn camp.
    Basic interview questions during the first meeting with the victim
    • The purpose of this conversation is to find out what is happening, who is involved in the bullying, as well as with whom the victim may still have a good relationship and what the victim's own resources are to resolve the situation. Based on the information obtained in this conversation, a specialist (for example, a social worker) using the No Blame Approach method, together with the classroom teacher, forms a group of assistants.

    Bullying

    (bullying, from English bully - hooligan, brawler, bully)

    defined as harassment, discrimination, bullying


    Andrew Miller

    defines bullying as a long-term process of deliberate cruel treatment, physical and (or) mental, on the part of one or a group of children towards another child (other children).

    However, speaking about school, it should be said

    that bullying manifests itself not only

    in children's relationships, but also

    and in the system of relations

    “teacher/adult-child.”


    • Physical. It manifests itself in beatings, sometimes even deliberate self-harm.
    • Behavioral. This is boycott, gossip (spreading deliberately false rumors that expose the victim in an unfavorable light), ignoring, isolation in the team, intrigue, blackmail, extortion, creating trouble (personal belongings are stolen, diaries, notebooks are damaged).
    • Verbal aggression. It is expressed in constant ridicule, jokes, insults, shouts and even curses.
    • Cyberbullying. The latest, but very popular among teenagers. It manifests itself in bullying using social networks or sending insults by email. This includes filming and posting inappropriate video to the public.

    • Family and environment. Schoolchildren take their example of behavior from their parents and society. Endless gangster series on television, courtyard ethics, disrespectful attitude towards the weak and sick on the part of adults teach children certain ways of behavior. Computer games also play an important role in the formation of personality, in which a child can kill and beat with impunity.
    • School. Teachers sometimes deliberately give rise to bullying themselves because they do not know how to cope with manifestations of aggression in children's groups.
    • What should a teacher think about?

    • Three groups of children always take an active part in bullying :
    • victim,
    • aggressor
    • and observers.

    Bullying aggressor at school, buller characteristics:

    • Imbalance, narcissism. Hot temper, impulsiveness and uncontrollable character with excessively high self-esteem. Authority is gained not through personal achievements, but by humiliating others. Sometimes bullying for girls is a tool to fight rivals. In this case, the victim does not necessarily have to challenge explicitly. It is enough to be more beautiful and more successful.
    • Excessive anger, hostility, desire to “scratch your fists”. Feels contempt for the weaker. Physical development is normal or above. He resolves all issues with the help of conflicts, shouting, blackmail, physical threats and beatings. Lies often. Sadistic tendencies are present.
    • Exalted position in society. Children from rich families do not refuse anything; their parents turn a blind eye to all their tricks, preferring to pay off with a substantial sum rather than spend time together. From childhood, a child gets used to the fact that everything is bought and sold, and any of his actions does not entail consequences, except for a slightly empty family account

    Consequences for the victim of school bullying

    • Mental disorders. Even a single case of bullying leaves a deep emotional scar that requires special work by a psychologist.
    • Difficulties in relationships. Most people remain single for the rest of their lives. They communicate more on social networks than in the real world.
    • Diseases. Physical ailments are very often a close result of bullying. Possible sleep disorders and trauma developing into psychosomatics. The pain syndrome goes away only after the work of a psychologist.

    • Conversation with children of primary school age, reprimand. Up to the age of 12, the problem of bullying at school is easier to solve than with older children. At this age, schoolchildren have not yet formed moral principles, and they rely on the opinion of the teacher. It will be enough to have conversations with all participants in the bullying, show the ugliness of the behavior of the aggressors and show your own negative attitude towards what is happening.
    • Influence on the aggressor from the outside. After 12 years of age, moral beliefs have already been formed and will not be so easy to change. The personality and authority of an adult fade into the background, and a group of peers comes to the fore. Therefore, you will have to act subtly, shaping public opinion.
    • Attracting a Reputable Ally. A teacher or adult who is authoritative for children should talk to the class, because here everything depends on the strength of conviction and inner faith in what is being said. Otherwise, everything will fly past your ears. Children must respect this person and listen to him.

    • Directness. We call the problem by its proper name - it is bullying, oppression. Explain that bullying is a class issue, not an individual issue.
    • Role reversal. Give an example in such a way that everyone feels like they are the victim. “Imagine that you walk into class, say hello, and everyone turns away from you, how would you feel?” Explain that people are different and each person has characteristics that may irritate others.
    • Introduction of new rules of behavior and responsibility. Changes may affect leisure time during free school or non-school time.
    • Specialist help. Invite a psychologist to conduct special psychological games that give you the opportunity to feel in the victim’s shoes and understand the inadmissibility of bullying.

    • Communication. First of all, you need to explain to the child that he is not to blame for what happens to him. Calling the phenomenon what it is is bullying. And promise to help cope. A condition will help: either a conversation with a teacher, or another school.
    • Support. It is important to listen to complaints and empathize emotionally with the child. You should not analyze or evaluate his stories, but simply be on his side.
    • Conversation at school. To stop bullying and violence at school, when talking with teachers, call a spade a spade and demand it from them.

    Preventing bullying at school

    • Preventing violence is easier than suppressing it.
