Preventative solutions to the issue of bullying

The purpose of this project is to develop an understanding of the need for anti-bullying programs in grade levels K-12 of the public educational system. This knowledge will be used to help to create a foundation grant to provide revenue that will pay for anti-bullying programs within Humboldt County. By reflecting on bullying, the research expectations of this research project are that by implementing effective, preventative programs, it will decrease the incidence of daily bullying. As programs manifest into the school systems, positive outcomes will be reported by all staff members and bullying behaviors related to force, threat, intimidation and aggression are expected to decrease as students are held accountable for their actions by becoming part of the solution rather than continuing as the perpetuating the problem.
