Abstract

Bullying is a serious and common problem affecting many children and adolescents in Thailand. Bullying can take on various forms, including physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying. Studies around the world found that the prevalence of school bullying is
highest during early adolescence. Additionally, the prevalence of bullying seems to increase among younger children, especially in the elementary school students. Bullies, victims, and the bystanders have significantly increased risk for physical, emotional, social, and academic problems. The effects of bullying can be serious and even fatal. A systemic and meta-analytic review on anti-bullying programs revealed that the most effective interventions are those interventions that involve the whole school as a community and that address the problem at several levels as individual, classroom, school, and community. Thus, pediatricians have important roles in identifying at-risk children, screening for psychiatric comorbidities, counseling children and families, and advocating for bullying prevention in their schools
