Rethinking Bullying: A New Perspective

Philosopher and activist Lolita Bosh is challenging the way we understand and address school bullying. Her new book offers tools for parents, educators, and teenagers to prevent and combat violence in schools. But her message goes deeper.

Bosh argues that the term "bullying" is often used too loosely, creating unnecessary alarm.

"We don't really know what 'bullying' is and we use the word to alarm families,"
she states. Her work encourages a more nuanced and proactive approach to creating safer and more supportive school environments.
