Return to Top_Level_Strategy_Map or ZOOM MAP--Minimize Exposure to ACEs and Trauma
While bullying and cyber-bullying were not included in the original ACEs study and are generally not counted in a typical ACE score, they are a significant source of childhood trauma that has a similar impact as the more traditional ACEs. Exposure to prolonged and repeated abuse – like bullying and cyberbullying – impacts the development of youth, the way they interact with others, and how they perform in school. It may also affect mental and physical health.[1] Therefore, it makes senes to include efforts to minimize bullying and cyberbullying as part of a comprehensive strategy to minimize and address ACEs.
Many communities already have a coalition working to address bullying (or a program in the schools), and the success of those efforts can be enhanced by bringing them into the broader collaborative efforts to minimize and address ACEs.
While there is good research that youth who have a high ACE score are more likely to bully others[2] (so reducing ACEs can be a means by which bullying can be reduced), this Objective focuses on reducing bullying and cyber-bullying as a way to reduce trauma experienced by youth.

Background
Bullying and Cyberbullying is a serious problem in most communities
The following is from the Cyberbullying Research Center in 2020: "In our study we informed students that “Bullying is when someone repeatedly threatens, harasses, mistreats, or makes fun of another person (on purpose) at school.” Based on this definition, 73% of students reported that they had been bullied at school some point in their lifetime (44% said it happened in the last 30 days). Among those who were bullied recently, 88% said they were called mean names or were made fun of in a hurtful way while 77% said they were excluded from groups or left out of things. One out of five told us that they had been threatened with a weapon at school."[3] In addition, with university or school-based shootings, male shooters tend to be of a younger demographic but typically have a previous hisotry of bullying and trauma.[4]
