Making an issue of bullying is creating an enlightenment that would reduce it, and be aware of those mechanisms to coping with it. It is well thought and research for schools.

Paul, you can never break the chain of bullying and abuse, as it is as old as humankind. You can make it so that people find the confidence within so they are better able to deal with it and have the support network needed to get through the difficult periods. That is why strengthening family and community ties, programs and activities are so vital...making places and people available to offer guidance, assistance and a shoulder to lean on when it is needed. We will never end bullying fully, nor will the world ever find a way to vanquish all the bullies...but we can certainly put in place the tools so that those in need have the resources to fight back and sustain themselves.

Their needs to be peer mediation, third party intervention, negotiation and other conflict resolution techniques need to be taught by adults. As a victim of bullying in a private, religious school a "zero tolerance policy" is not enough to stop the effects of bullying. In the age of social networking, being picked on and beaten up on the play ground and in the neighborhood, still takes it's toll. Kids are killing themselves over Facebook posts. Kids need to learn that words can hurt. Putting people down in order to feel better about one's self is not acceptable. Self-esteem needs to be built in all children. These are the ways that bullying and abuse will be finally stopped. We need to do this to break the chain of bullying and abuse.

These 10 ideas are useful, but they will not end the type of bullying going on today. Rebuilding family structures for the 21st Century is the most effective tool (not the easiest). Family mealtime is the single most effective way to combat bullying, increase academic achievement, lower the obesity rate, cut down on family break-ups and so much more. The research and literature on this is extensive. If all of this is built on a foundation of Human Rights, as understood through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the stability and universality is there for everyone.
