“…The pedagogical intervention programs for bystanders in a bullying situation is considered to be as important as programs for the bullies and their victims to reduce the bullying (Fair, Florell, 2019). There can be used different new pedagogical approaches and interventions to help pupils to understand their roles in bullying and to interfere, for example drama method and story writing (Goodwin et al, 2019, Barnett et al, 2019. As it is admitted by previous research, bystanders' responses to bullying can influence bullying occurrence and effects.…”

Bullying rarely takes place between two individuals in isolation, usually, it occurs with pupil’s bystanders present. How often pupils take the role of bystander, what bystanders usually do in the bullying situation and how it can be explained was examined with 5003 pupils attending 55 Latvia’s schools. Responses indicated that more than a third (n=1913) of all respondents admitted that they had been in a situation where they witnessed another pupil being bullied. After analyzing the responses of those respondents, was concluded that although the majority of pupils felt bad about it, most did nothing about it or did not consider the situation important for involvement. This could be explained by the fact that the majority of children did not know what to do in the particular bullying situation. The implications for research and practice are debated.

“…In addition, through the success of the "bystander" intervention model, a new factor in bullying relationships has arisen, termed "upstanders." Upstanders train to oppose those who bully others, in person and online and, when successful, remove bullying at its source during social interaction, generating a safer school community and actively eliminating the potential need for therapy to assist with the potential consequences of bullying, including cyberbullying (Barnett et al, 2019). Finally, bystander intervention programmes could be perceived as too "western" and middle class and should be catered for a diverse audience.…”

This paper examines cyberbullying concerning therapeutic interventions. A section on bullying and how bullying impacts the therapeutic environment is included. The author provides his definition of bullying to incorporate cyberbullying and how it is no longer a “new issue” but an evolving one. The current status of therapeutic interventions used to support victims of cyberbullying has been explored, emphasising their effectiveness in assisting those experiencing bullying. A segment has been implemented to comprehend whether practitioners fully understand the potential implications of cyberbullying on clients, whether bullying is still seen as a “rite of passage” and what the possible consequences of this could be. Peer interventions and support groups concerning cyberbullying have been referenced, including The KiVa Programme, the Shared Concern Method and The Circle of Friends Method. These have highlighted specific examples of therapeutic and nontherapeutic approaches to intervene with cyberbullying. A section on potential further training is presented for practitioners working within educational environments. Moreover, physical, psychological, sexual and relational bullying are discussed in the article when applicable, with the umbrella term “bullying” used to discuss all forms of bullying at once. The paper has uncovered two key messages: (1) cyberbullying requires more awareness in counselling and is no longer a new issue and (2) more extensive training is required to assist therapists to work with cyberbullying victims.

“…To avoid bullying between students, some authors (Jenkins & Canivez, 2021) have suggested discussing community building-related problems in the class. Discussions about compassion and the value of community-building can be a tool for teachers to identify students in the at-risk group of being bullied (Hart Barnett et al, 2019).…”

School violence and bullying highlighted as a global issue outside and in the school. In this research, IEA International Civic and Citizenship Study (ICCS) 2016 data from eight countries – Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia), the Russian Federation, Sweden and Denmark – was compared. The aim of the article is to observe the relationship between bullying and students’ citizenship activities at school and in the future. The research determined a relationship between bullying and factors that described students’ citizenship activities. The results show that there is a link between bullying and students’ experiences of participation in illegal and legal activities, participation in classroom discussions, interest in the wider community, and at-school citizenship activities. This article was supported by research application no. 1.1.1.2/VIAA/1/16/020, and European Social Fund project No. 8.3.6.2/17/I/001.
