Significance: Bullying affects youth negatively in many ways. Youth who are bullied are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, changes in sleep and eating patterns and decreased academic achievement and school participation. Academic success has a direct impact on their employment prospects and future earnings potential, which impact health and access to health care in adulthood. LGBTQ youth and those perceived as LGBTQ are at an increased risk of being bullied. Bullied LGBTQ youth, or youth perceived as LGBTQ are more likely to skip school, smoke, use alcohol and drugs, or engage in other risky behaviors. Lesbian, gay or bisexual youth are more than twice as likely as their peers to be depressed and think about or attempt suicide. Bias based on gender; social/socio-economic class and privilege; gender orientation, sexual preference, and gender identity; mental, physical and emotional ability/disability; physical appearance (most notably obesity); and religion are frequently at the center of bullying and discrimination in schools. Improving knowledge and competency in these areas can help programs more effectively prevent bullying and more appropriately react to bullying when it happens.

Significance:

Data Sources and Data Issues: Positive Youth Development is an evidence-based strategy that focuses on asset-building and goal-setting as a means of risk reduction. PYD programs have been proven to positively impact teen birth, healthy relationships, college and career preparation, and overall self-esteem. The PYD approach supports the physical, emotional, social and mental health of adolescents. Research shows risk factors such as poor social competence, low academic achievement, impulsiveness, truancy, and poverty increase an individual’s risk of violence. Developing youth life skills, improving their participation and performance in school, and increasing their prospects for employment can help protect them from violence, both in childhood and later in life. Developing life skills for intervention and self-empowerment can help young people avoid violence, by improving their social and emotional competencies and teaching them how to deal effectively and non-violently with conflict.

Significance:

Data Sources and Data Issues: Bullying takes a toll on the entire school community, with potentially lasting harm. Nearly 30% (29.6%) of Michigan high schools students report experiencing bullying (MI YRBS 2017). For those who are bullied, the resulting emotional trauma can persist into adulthood. The link between bullying and suicide has also illuminated the need to recognize the damage bullying can inflict. At the school level, educational achievement can be impacted through reduced test scores when bullying is prevalent. A student who is stressed and feeling unsafe struggles to succeed academically. Educational success can be hampered by bullying experiences in school. But students who bully also suffer emotionally and academically, with a higher likelihood of defiant and delinquent behaviors, school drop-out and poor academic performance. A lack of respect for and understanding of others increases stress, violence and trauma. Addressing the environment that allows bullying to thrive means teaching all students the importance of empathy, respect for differences and managing emotions. Social emotional learning (SEL) incorporates the skills that serve to prevent bullying behavior. Teaching all students those skills arms them against participating, on any level, in bullying. The Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH) is a Pre-K-12, comprehensive school health education curriculum recognized by the Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) as an evidence-based SEL program. Evaluators found in a 2011 randomized control study that students who received the MMH curriculum showed statistically significant positive changes, including better interpersonal communication skills, stronger social and emotional health skills, and less reported aggression in the past 30 days. SEL is a structured way to improve a wide range of students’ social and emotional competencies and impact bullying at the individual and peer levels.
