National Stop Bullying Day – History
Dr. Dan Olweus, a Norweigan psychologist, spearheaded efforts to understand and prevent bullying. Dr. Olweus conducted a bullying prevention program in order to inform American anti-bullying efforts in the 1990s. In 1999, after the school shooting at Columbine, anti-bullying programs were conducted in and around schools. The anti-bullying laws and policies were launched to fight bullying, and teachers focused on empowering bystanders, policing classrooms and hallways, and punishing and reforming bullies.
