	National Crime Prevention Council -- Bullying (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although bullying was once considered a rite of passage, parents, educators, and community leaders now see bullying as a devastating form of abuse that can have long-term effects on youthful victims, robbing them of self-esteem, isolating them from their peers, causing them to drop out of school, and even prompting health problems and suicide.
		Witnessing bullying can be harmful, too, as it may make the witness feel helpless - or that he or she is the next target.
		Children who are bullied are often singled out because of a perceived difference between them and others, whether because of appearance (size, weight, or clothes), intellect, or, increasingly, ethnic or religious affiliation and sexual orientation.

	Information on Bullying for Parents and Teachers (1996)
		The connection between witnessing wife assault by children, particularly male children, and bully behaviour by children toward peers, has not been well studied, but studies do indicate that aggressive behaviour of all kinds is elevated in children who witness violence by their father toward their mother (Jaffe, Wolfe and Wilson, 1990).
		Some important strategies in stopping bullying are: providing good supervision for children; providing effective consequences to bullies; using good communication between teachers and parents; providing all children opportunities to develop good interpersonal skills; and creating a social context which is supportive and inclusive, in which aggressive, bully behaviour is not tolerated by the majority.
		If the bullying is happening on the way to and from school, arrange for the child to get to school with older, supportive children, or take him or her until other interventions can take place.

	Just Fight On! Against workplace bullying and abuse
		One problem with the word bullying is that it may mean different things to different people, especially when the word 'bullying' is used instead of describing inappropriate behaviour.
		This is not the case BUT the use of the word bullying may actually damage the credibility of someones complaint, depending on who they complaint to and their view of it.
		While this may accurately describe the reason for some to bully others, it does not cover all who bully, nor does it adequately describe the objectionable behaviour that targets are subjected to.
