The phenomenon of bullying involves everyone in the school community. Although the children who are bullied suffer in acute and immediate ways, other children, including the bullies themselves, are also affected. In addition, teachers, counselors, administrators, and parents have a high stake in addressing and resolving the challenge of bullying and often feel helpless to know how to respond. What would it take to address the issue of bullying with compassion for everyone involved? This talk offers a framework for taking shared responsibility, as a community, to respond to incidents of violence in ways that restore trust and respect. By looking at the causes of violent behavior this talk also shows ways of transforming the conditions that contribute to violence happening in the first place.
