Dr. Debra Pepler spoke to The Vancouver Sun about the importance of teaching empathy in school in bullying prevention.
Excerpt:
"In our society, if a child has trouble in school, we give thme tutoring, we back them up. But if a kid lashes out or is highly anxious and withdrawn, we don't do that. We don't help children solve the much more complex social problems that they face. We exclude them, we take them out of class."
