Once seen as a rite of passage, bullying is now being taken more seriously as lawsuits multiply against bullies and hazers.   Some even referring to the behavior as terrorism, there is no doubt that teachers, coaches, and administrators are becoming less tolerant of bullying.  Assistant Professor of Curriculum & Teaching in BU’s School of Education Scott Seider can discuss bullying, the recent backlash against it,  and it’s effects on adolescents.  Scott can be reached at seider@bu.edu or (617) 512-2103.
