Besides that, teachers should be encouraged to use methods that prevent bullying
behaviours for that purpose materials prepared for ART AGAINST BULLYING will

According to Alasker (2004) teachers who participate in bullying prevention programs
feel more confident about handling bullying problems, have more supportive attitudes
about victimized students, and feel more positively about working with parents
regarding bullying problems. 10
