Pediatricians take on bullies, dating violence
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
Carla Johnson at The AP:
The American Academy of Pediatrics wants doctors to take an active role in preventing bullying in schools and violence among dating teenagers.
The academy gives doctors tips for doing that in an updated policy being published in the July issue of its journal, Pediatrics.
Doctors should tell parents to talk to their children about bullying, teach children how to resolve conflicts and promote respectful relationships in dating, the policy says. It also suggests doctors volunteer to talk about the topics at schools, churches and youth organizations.
I know the recession has accelerated things but dating violence has been a problem for decades.
