Experiences of social exclusion and bullying at school among children and youth with cerebral palsy.Lindsay S, McPherson AC. SourceBloorview Research Institute, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. slindsay@hollandbloorview.ca AbstractPURPOSE:Although bullying amongst typically developing school-aged children has been well explored, it is under-researched for children with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of exclusion and bullying among children with disabilities. METHOD:We draw on qualitative in-depth interviews and a focus group with children and youth with disabilities (n = 15) to explore their experiences of exclusion and bullying. RESULTS:Our results showed that restrictions in the socio-contextual environment influenced the social exclusion that children experienced. Youth encountered social exclusion from both teachers and peers. Children reported that teachers' attitudes toward children with disabilities often influenced the social exclusion experienced by peers. Bullies engaged in both implicit and explicit forms of social exclusion toward children with disabilities which often lead to verbal and physical bullying. CONCLUSIONS:Children with cerebral palsy are victims of bullying and social exclusion within the school context. More opportunities for social inclusion are needed.

Early detection of drug use and bullying in secondary school children by using a three-dimensional simulation program.Carmona Torres JA, Cangas AJ, García GR, Langer AI, Zárate R. SourceDepartment of Personality, Assessment and Psychological Treatment, University of Almeria, Almeria, Spain. jacarmona@ual.es AbstractThe current study analyzes the psychometric properties of an innovative three-dimensional (3D) simulation program, entitled Mii-School (MS), designed for the early detection of drug use and bullying in Secondary School children. This computer program showed adequate reliability and construct validity. The factorial structure, as well as the explanatory weight of the different factors, is presented. In addition, the results of a parallel version in paper and pencil format are also presented and compared with those of the computerized version (i.e., MS). There was a statistically significant difference between the two formats in the total (i.e., combined) sore of risk. When drug use and bullying were separately analyzed, differences were found only with regard to drug use. The relevance of these results as well as the suitability of this type of 3D instrument for the early detection of risky behaviors in young people are discussed.

Spinning our wheels: improving our ability to respond to bullying and cyberbullying.Englander EK. SourceMassachusetts Aggression Reduction Center, Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, MA 02325, USA. AbstractBullying is physical and or psychological abuse perpetuated by one powerful child upon another, with the intention to harm or dominate. Bullying and aggression in schools has reached epidemic proportions. Abusive bullying behaviors begin in elementary school, peak during middle school, and begin to subside in high school. Bullying behaviors are associated with catastrophic violence. Cyberbullying has emerged as one result of the increasingly online social life in which modern teens and children engage. Mediation may be inappropriate. The only safety mechanism that children will ultimately retain is the one between their ears. Can J Public Health. 2012 Jan-Feb;103(1):9-13. Risk indicators and outcomes associated with bullying in youth aged 9-15 years.Lemstra ME, Nielsen G, Rogers MR, Thompson AT, Moraros JS. SourceDepartment of Psychiatry, Department of Pediatrics, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon Tribal Council, Saskatoon, SK. mark.lemstra@usask.ca AbstractOBJECTIVES:Bullying is a form of aggression in which children are intentionally intimidated, harassed or harmed. The main objective of our study was to determine the unadjusted and adjusted risk indicators associated with physical bullying. The second objective was to clarify the impact of repeated physical bullying on health outcomes - namely depressed mood. METHODS:Every student attending school in the city of Saskatoon, Canada, between grades 5-8 was asked to complete the Saskatoon School Health Survey. RESULTS:In total, 4,197 youth completed the questionnaire; of these, 23% reported being physically bullied at least once or twice in the previous four weeks. After multivariate adjustment, the covariates independently associated with being physically bullied included being male (OR=1.39), attending a school in a low-income neighbourhood (OR=1.41), not having a happy home life (OR=1.19), having a lot of arguments with parents (OR=1.16) and feeling like leaving home (OR=1.23). Children who were repeatedly physically bullied were more likely to have poor health outcomes. For example, 37.3% of children who were physically bullied many times per week had depressed mood in comparison to only 8.1% of children who were never bullied. After regression analysis, children who were ever physically bullied were 80% more likely to have depressed mood. CONCLUSION:Most of the independent risk indicators associated with physical bullying are preventable through appropriate social policy implementation and family support. It also appears that preventing repeated bullying should be the main focus of intervention in comparison to preventing more infrequent bullying.
