Bullying in Middle Schools Today

Are you concerned about the bullying going on in middle schools today? Are you wondering what you need to do about it?

In this episode of Healthy Family Connections, Neil interviews Dr. Valerie Quandt, Principal of Jordan Middle School in Palo Alto, California, on the subject of bullying in middle schools. Dr. Quandt offers her insight into bullying behavior from the hallways to the social apps and discusses how the current political climate can affect bullying in children.

Listen to this week’s podcast discussion to hear:

• Who is most vulnerable to bullying or being bullied
• What schools can do about it
• Important steps all parents need to take now

Quotes From The Episode:

“Any differences make kids feel vulnerable and make other kids see them as vulnerable.”

“Facebook & Instagram are public spaces but many times they feel private to kids, and they’re not private.”

“Kids need to understand their impact on others so they can learn not to do the same things.”

Thanks for tuning in today everyone and a special thanks to Dr. Valerie Quandt for sharing her time and expertise with us.
