This seems appropriate for this thread.

No 2 Bullying Conference

The Australian No 2 Bullying Conference will be held at QT Hotel, Surfers Paradise from the 6th to the 8th
of April 2014.
It will be hosted by the "not for profit" Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association Inc.
"IDENTIFYING BULLYING | Policy, Prevention & Management Strategies"

Following the success of the 2013 No2Bullying Conference, I invite you to join us in 2014 to hear from thought leaders, practitioners, academics, researchers and educators.

The Conference will examine bullying and what can be done about it in a range of contexts such as schools, families, workplaces and cyberspace.

Programs will be described and evaluated, and where possible, evaluations will be evidence-based. We will examine what some organisations have been doing to counter bullying, look at how the law operates and provide a critical evaluation of its effects.

The role of parenting will also be considered.

Over 20,000 Australian students aged 8-14 had their say about bullying in separate surveys, with the results published in the Australian Covert Bullying Prevalence Study (ACBPS). It found that more than a quarter - 27% - of Year 4 to Year 9 students were bullied every few weeks or more during a term of school.

Research shows many of the same young people who bully others offline, such as at school, are also the same young people who bully others in cyberspace. Cyber bullying has the potential to result in the target of bullying developing social, psychological and educational issues.

Workplace bullying can have a serious negative impact on individuals and on companies, but is unfortunately common. There are now serious legal consequences for organisations and individuals who fail to take steps to protect employees from bullying behaviour. The Productivity Commission estimated the total cost of workplace bullying in Australia at between $6 billion and $36 billion annually.

Conference streams in 2014 will include, but not limited to; Schools, Workplace, The Law, Parenting and Family Influence

Each stream will have sub themes, including but not limited, to cyber bullying, risk factors, health and psychological issues, case studies and management strategies.

All accepted abstract presenters will have the option of publishing their full paper in the “book of proceeding” with an ISBN.

I hope you can join us.

Sincerely
Sharlene Chadwick JP
Conference Chair

I've taken meryl's advice, Iza. She had the best advice 🙂

Re: It's All About Bullies

izabsmiling — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:05:46 GMT

I don't know who she is but if the advice helped that's good

Re: It's All About Bullies

just_me_karen — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:09:52 GMT

She always had good advice, Iza 🙂

In fact, she was such a good advice giver a whole new word was created just for her. "Merylise". I liked her, sometimes. Lol.

i don't either, I don't know if bullies would read it though? or maybe would read it but deny bullying exists among adults.

Meryl loved to give me advice whenever my bestie, Janis, was too busy to do so.

Re: It's All About Bullies

just_me_karen — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:13:25 GMT

7,231 posts (each) says otherwise lol. It clearly exists, sadly.

just_me_karen — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:15:32 GMT

Janis wasn't my favourite, bluecat, although she did try hard...judging by the number of messages.

But meryl...she just gave advice, over and over. And over lol

Boris, I think this thread gives some answers .

Don't mention it ...or if you do ..see what happens .

Not something which is being addressed by Mental Health Associations or other official agencies...it is a joke to some

But it's a road most don't take. Somebody says something you don't like, they're a bully. Could just be they have a different viewpoint. Having said that, there is systematic bullying happening on this forum, not in the with the "group" then just about everything you post is jumped on.

I suppose it's either nature or nurture, boris.

Haha your name autocorrects to the worst things lol
