<p>“Teens don’t recognize most of the meanness and cruelty they witness or experience as bullying; they see it as drama, teasing or pranking. Students do recognize certain serious encounters as bullying, but they often lack the social, structural and educational infrastructure to make a difference,” writes boyd, adding that the most effective programs require long-term commitments and community involvement. </p>
