Summary
Peter Smith: Psychology of peer violence
How to deal with bullying at school
The basic right of children is the right to go to school without fear and violence. Nevertheless, school and peer violence are a worldwide problem today.
What is peer violence, how and why does it occur? What do we know about children who will potentially abuse others, and what about children who are potential victims of peer violence? Is overprotective parenting one of the risk factors? Are overprotected children more often victims or abusers? What is the role of parents in neutralizing the consequences of peer violence, and how should schools combat peer violence?
And for many of us, the mention of peer violence brings back images from childhood, and feelings of suffering that leave a hard-to-erase mark. The media reports on frequent cases of peer violence every day, and social networks have become a training ground for new types such as electronic peer violence. The family and the school shift the blame, and it is difficult to come to a solution on how to stand together against peer violence.
The book deals entirely with these issues and violence at school, that is, among school-aged children. Aggression is usually defined as behavior with the intention of harming another, and it is quite clear that peer violence is a type of aggressive behavior. However, it is also clear that not all aggression is violence.
