When a child feels unsafe at school, personal relationships, mental health, and academics are negatively affected. The entire school community – staff, parents, and students – must work together to develop an effective safe school program. A carefully planned safe school program that is followed consistently by all members will ensure the greatest success for all students.  \nAll students have the right to attend school and learn in a violence free environment. Consequently, educators have the responsibility to provide students a safe school for learning. Bullying in schools is a concern because it has many implications for student development. Bullying affects student achievement, mental health, and personal relationships. Educators must work together with staff, students, and parents to implement programs, in the hope that a safe, caring, and respectful learning environment will be achieved. In the end, students will be guaranteed their right to learn in a safe environment that is free from violence.  \nBullying in School  \nEveryone has a right to personal safety, but about 25% of Canadian students are victims of school bullying (Craig & McCuaig Edge, 2011, p. 181) . Bullying experiences at school have lasting effects on the bully, the victim, and the bystander. School violence can significantly impair a student’s mental, academic, and social development (Klinger et al. , 2011) . Educators are responsible for the safety of their students. When they do not address the issue of bullying, students are not safe at school.  \nBullying is often a precursor to poor mental health. Children who are bullied become physically hurt and emotionally scarred. In a 2011 study by the Public Health Agency of Canada, students reported that as the number of incidents of fighting increased, so did issues with their mental health and behaviour (Craig & McCuaig Edge, 2011) . When students are bullied, or are witnesses to a student being bullied, they feel unsafe in the classroom. In a like manner, students may have feelings of distrust toward the adults who are normally seen as their protectors (Kreps, 2018) . Victims of bullying incidents sometimes report thoughts of suicide, self-harm, and depression (Ashrafi et al. , 2020) . Students with poor mental health often engage in social media sites that further encourage at-risk behaviours (Mérelle, 2020) . Subsequently, victims of bullying sometimes continue to be withdrawn and experience low self-worth, well into adulthood. Educators who miss the signs of bullying miss an opportunity to address the issue of poor mental health (Kreps, 2018) .  \nIt is no surprise that victims of bullying incidents are less successful academically (Klinger et al. , 2011) . Students who are victimized spend a lot of time worrying about their safety at school. Bullying can lead to depression, which influences their ability to concentrate on their schoolwork (Kim et al. , 2020) . The children who witness these acts of violence are also affected emotionally, especially when they are not able to help the victim. In fact, bystanders feel concern for their own safety and they worry that they may be the next target. Over time, this concern may affect their success in school (Evans et al. , 2019) . When the effects of bullying last for years, the risk of an unsuccessful future increases (Craig & McCuaig Edge, 2011) . Educators must realize that students who feel unsafe at school will experience higher academic failure.  \nBullying is an issue that involves relationships. Therefore, students who are victimized repeatedly, over several years, are less successful in adulthood and have a higher likelihood of becoming violent themselves (Kreps, 2018) . That is to say, the power struggle and violence that students experience can lead to poor rela","cbCaioCKolA9zAdB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioCKolA9zAdB","pdf",216514,"English","# Bullying in School\n## Creating Safe Schools","[{\"question\":\"Why is bullying in schools a major concern?\",\"answer\":\"Bullying has implications for student development, affecting mental health, student achievement, and personal relationships.\"},{\"question\":\"How does bullying influence mental health?\",\"answer\":\"Being bullied is often linked to poor mental health, including emotional distress, depression, and reports of self-harm or suicidal thoughts in some cases.\"},{\"question\":\"What strategies help create safer schools?\",\"answer\":\"Schools can implement prevention programs, provide staff training, and use intervention approaches that teach coping strategies, address mental health needs, and encourage support from parents.\"}]","Keeping School Learning Environments Safe from Bullying | PDF",1792080360,13]
