(By Catherine Bradshaw of UVA’s Curry School of Education) Think of news clips showing attack-minded politicians levying insults and threats, TV shows depicting abusive bosses shouting down their employees, and movies that show “jocks” terrorizing “nerds” and “mean girls” doling out cruelties. The list goes on, proving bullying behaviors are nothing if not pervasive across our society.
