What is bullying: Intentionally abusing the rights and dignity of another by inflicting emotional and/or physical pain with the cruel intention of crushing the spirit of the target.
It is our firm belief that the most effective means to address the problem of bullying in school communities is to work determinedly to nurture empathy.
If we accept that empathy is the ability to see things from another’s point-of-view and the ability to identify with the plight or state of another, then we can accept that an empathetic person has little likelihood of bullying.
