to create a climate that discourages bullying and encourages peer processes that
support and include vulnerable children. Teachers should label bullying behavior, not
the person. Identify the problem as bullying behavior and avoid labeling children and
youth as “bullies and victims.” These labels limit how they think about themselves
and how others think of them.” (Pepler et al, 2004, p.311.)
