Anti-bullying refers to efforts and strategies aimed at preventing and addressing bullying behavior in various environments, such as schools, workplaces, and online. It involves creating a safe and supportive atmosphere where individuals can feel secure and respected. Programs often include education on the effects of bullying, promoting empathy, and encouraging bystander intervention.
Many organizations, including StopBullying.gov and PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center, provide resources and support for those affected by bullying. Anti-bullying policies are implemented in schools to establish clear rules and consequences for bullying behavior, fostering a culture of kindness and inclusion among students.
