Confronting Bullying in CNY

More than 70 educators from the OCM BOCES component school districts gathered on the Henry Campus to learn more about confronting bullying in our schools.

Just-released research paints the picture: 1/6 of students indicate being frequently bullied. Almost half of boys who are being bullied report that it has gone on for longer than a year. Bystanders report feeling bad about the bullying but not many bystanders do anything about it.

Cyberbullying is on the rise and can be just as hurtful and harmful as conventional bullying.

Participants in the summit (a session in the Leadership Seminar series) learned about programs in schools that have made a difference.
