I was recently on E Investigates bullying as an expert on bullying. The producer Michael Lynn did a great job when it came to producing a show, but they missed the entire message and bullying problem. Their focus was on the victims in school bullying who committed suicide. What a disappointment. They focused on 5% of the problem and the show was completely reactive.
What they missed was bullying is a community problem and we need to understand that we all have a role to play. If we continually focus on the bullies and victims (targets) we'll continually have a problem with bullying in schools, workplaces, sports teams etc.
I plan on calling E investigates to talk to them about how they made the problem worse by using the angle of victim and schools.
Stay tuned and I'll tell you what their reaction is to my opinion.
