With all the current happenings surrounding bullying, all hands must be on deck to help tackle bullying in schools and this framework can help. But first, let’s define who a bully is. It’s defined as a person who is intentionally physically or emotionally cruel to others, especially to those whom they perceive as being vulnerable or of less power or privilege. The issue of bullying is not new, even our grandparents were bullied in school. Bullies are everywhere. They’re in offices, public institutions, or in power.
