Bullying

Why do you think these myths exist? What are the difference between bullies and victims? What are effective intervention strategies? Reflect on your own experiences- Have you ever witnessed an instance of bullying? How did this experience affect you? What role does social media play in oppression? DO: 1. In addition to using your textbook, use an article from Psych ARTICLES. See directions above in Module Discussions.
