Description
Bullying is a serious public health problem that affects millions of children worldwide each year. Early disclosure is not just a step to intervention; it's a crucial one. Unfortunately, many children suffer in silence, not telling anyone or their teachers. This silence is profound, akin to child abuse, where children are reluctant to disclose their victimization situation to even a trusted person. Early disclosure reduces their suffering and potentially saves their lives. The potential impact of early disclosure on children's lives is significant, making it a responsibility we cannot ignore. The following are the objectives.
-What strategies can help with early disclosure
-How bullying is measured?
First, we discuss strategies that facilitate early disclosure. We introduce a practical and accessible approach to a novel projective drawing test- to assist children in disclosing their bullying exposure. It is essential to screen for each form of bullying. In general, physical bullying is readily recognized. Social bullying is not always readily apparent; electronic bullying can be even more discrete.
We review the literature to explore how bullying is assessed and measured. Accurately measuring bullying is a crucial step in its prevention. It depends on their chosen definition. Bullying is a contextual phenomenon, and context should be considered. Even the question-order effects may influence participant responses. Assessing a bullying tool's optimal psychometric properties, validity, and reliability insights is challenging. Searching for a “valid” instrument for bullying detection is discussed.
