A lot of schools spend countless hours trying to stop bullying. But some question if they are sending the right message.

It started as a simple look at bullying. University of Texas at Arlington criminologist Seokjin Jeong analyzed data collected from 7,000 students from all 50 states.

He thought the results would be predictable and would show that anti-bullying programs curb bullying. Instead — he found the opposite.

Jeong said it was, “A very disappointing and a very surprising thing. Our anti-bullying programs, either intervention or prevention does not work.”

The study concluded that students at schools with anti-bullying programs might actually be more likely to become a victim of bullying. It also found that students at schools with no bullying programs were less likely to become victims.

Of course it does. We have an administration currently bullying the entire country. They need diversions and petty issues to advance their bullying.

It's not bullying if you have a permit.

Thank God for the reminder!

I've never watched any of those shows including fooball so I've got to rely on what's left of my feeble mind to recall conversations here about what's on TV nowadays..

It's really disheartening to see that people really aren't capable of learning. Human nature can't be changed. Anti-bullying programs won't ever work, only a good ass kicking will.

But Jeong says they may actually teach students different bullying techniques — and even educate about new ways to bully through social media and texting.

Jeong said students with ill intentions “…are able to learn, there are new techniques [and gain] new skills.” He says students might see examples in videos and then want to try it.

Imagine that. Schools actually teaching something.

It doesn't help when then there are zero tolerance policies and the kids are instructed to "ignore the bullies and they'll stop" rather than kick their asses.
