Bullying: Proactive Physical  Educators’ Contribution to School-Wide Prevention
  Anne Gibbone & Mara Manson

Abstract: Although  not a new concept, bullying continues to be a problem in schools across the  nation. Bullying involves the intention to hurt the feelings of the victim. Research  demonstrates that victims of bullying often experience low self-esteem,  depression, anxiety, insecurity, oversensitivity, introversion, and withdrawal  from social activities. This article addresses fundamental concepts of  victimization, including cyberbullying trends, educational issues, physical  education curricula, anti-bullying management in physical education, and  school-wide intervention.
