CBC.ca/bully

Bullies, like the poor – like teenage zits – have been part of life. Recently there are more news about incidents and the victims as the incidents are bloodier and terrifying. No longer is it just a hit or a knee or a bloodied nose or black eye at school; now there are the use of guns, knives, murders and suicides - in Canadian schools and communities!

Recently, CBC AM radio and The National presented documentaries on school bullies. The National program aired over 2 evenings in March, 2001 and scoped the scene at a Manitoba and British Columbia school. It has links to other organizations.

The link to the radio program Schoolyard Bullies, December 14, 2000, gives a serious look at the problem. Rex Murphy had a comment on this topic with the Rex Murphy's introduction to the September 5, 1999 program: "How serious is school bullying? What can, and should be done about it?".

The CBC National provides Web Links for Bullying.org, Bully Busters, Safe Child, and for reading on the topic, go to York University, Lamarsh Centre for Research on Violence and Conflict Resolution on the topic of Bullies and Victimization.
