Although many do see the connection between academic/career and personal/social change, school counselors are left to promote the basis of academic achievement due to the improvement of personal and social growth (Van Velsor, 2009). School counselors have many demands on their time that are not relevant to counseling: testing coordinator, special education team leader, and administrator of retests (Bostick & Anderson, 2009)
Piaget and Cognitive Learning Each of the above sessions based its format on the premise that children 3rd to 5th grade have the ability to reason logically. Children have schemas which they organize their environment (Crandell, Crandell, & Zanden, 2009)
Ms. Hendricks said that she preferred working with the younger age set on social issues as it acted mainly as a preventive technique instead of rehabilitative as with the older age groups (Hendricks, 2010)
Things are kept quiet except of someone is going to hurt himself or another person, or if the child is in danger at home. Any other disclosure comes with the full consent of the child (Huss, Bryant, & Mulet, 2008)
The counselor leads a discussion on what bullying means. Bullying is any hurtful or aggressive act toward an individual or group that is purposeful and repeated (Quiroz, et al
Counselors can use each session as an example on how to create positive relationship with the more diverse populations. Each year the schools become a microcosm of the world's ethnic and cultural diversity (Roaten & Schmidt, 2009)

Because of many of these demands, counselors use group counseling as a means to reach more students in the time allowed. Group counseling can provide the framework needed to address issues such as prevention, problem-focused support groups, and psychoeducational groups (Steen & Bauman, 2007)

Bullies act for reasons of control, revenge, envy, and emotional distress Turkel, 2006). What happens to bullies as they grow up? They are more likely to be involved with violent acts, illegal activity, harassment of others, and carrying of guns (Turkel, 2006)

However, the cases where the shooters had been a victim of bullying in a school, the tormented experience was found to play an important role in motivation for the attack. (Dake, Price, & Telljohann, 2003) Why do children bully? In this research paper, an interview was conducted from a professional psychologist having expertise in this field
The real problem with such victims is to inquire about any such incident because they may find it discomforting and shameful on personal grounds. (Owusu, Hart, Oliver, & Kang, 2011) A solid reason for it could be that the victims can find management reluctant to help
In 2003, the Department of Health and Human Services launched a national bullying public awareness and prevention campaign (Swearer). Several state legislatures have passed laws related to bullying in an attempt to address the problem and inspire public awareness, however researchers caution that it is important not to cloud the issue by defining bullying in conjunction with other type of peer aggression, such as harassment or intimidation (Greif)
Seventy-five percent of the school shootings over the past decade have been related to bullying (Vessey). Because bullying is a social problem of the collective, it might be more successful in changing the peer group norms that reinforce bullying, which is the basic operating principle of school-wide anti-bullying programs (Juvonen)
While bullying in some form, whether teasing or pestering, has always existed within the school environment, it has only been during the last few decades that it has grabbed school and community attention. In 1982, when three teenaged boys in Norway committed suicide as a result of extreme harassment from classmates, the Ministry of Education launched a national campaign against bullying in which a prevention program was implemented in every primary and secondary school (Swearer)
Research suggests that the prevalence of bullying only appears to decline as students mature, and then it actually changes from aggressive forms to more passive, verbal forms (Young). Common physical acts of bullying include: actions causing physical injury (hitting, punching, kicking, tripping); taking money, lunch, or homework; taking or damaging belongings of others; engaging in extortion; embarrassing by snapping the bra, lifting the skirt, pulling down pants (Vessey)
According to Jerry Young, December 22, 2003 issue of Adolescence, research indicates that school bullying has higher prevalence rates in the United States than in other countries. Males were found to be more involved in physical bullying, while females tend to use more covert forms, yet bullying and victimization have been associated with negative consequences in adulthood (Young)
