Joel Haber is the author of the internationally acclaimed, Bullyproof Your Child for Life: Protect Your Child from Teasing, Taunting and Bullying for Good. He made several interesting comments on the bullying rise worldwide.
On whether bullying has changed, Dr Haber comments, “There is so much more focus on the problem in all its forms: physical, emotional, relational and bullying through technology. Years ago, the focus was mainly on physical bullying.” He also adds that the advent of technology and cyber bullying has added a new dimension to the problem of bullying.
He praises the role of media in dealing with bullying as “awareness of bullying has made opportunities for youth and others involved in bullying to rally around the problem and find strength together to make it better.”
According to Dr Haber, long term effects of bullying include anxiety, depression, substance use increase, decreased academic performance and avoidance of social experiences.
