| Studies on bullying have been done around the
world. Norway, Sweden, France, Ireland, Japan, Denmark, United States, Canada, England and
Germany have all conducted research into the problems of bullying and its effects
on education and on society in general. There are conclusions that we can make from this
research. Bullying will only be stopped by the intervention of adults in authority
positions, such as educators and parents. Victims of bullying must have a support system
that makes them feel safe and comfortable in order to report intimidation to those
authority figures.
