This continues to be such an issue in middle school. It actually continues to be an issue at many levels - and with adults at work as well. Educators must continue to take it seriously. Even as we continue to confront it (c'mon now! you know is happens ...) within the adult population.
Australia frequently seems to take the lead on some tough issues. From Serial bully - a nasty piece of work (Pollard, R. September 8th, 2004 - smh.com.au)
Accidental bullies do it when they're under stress. Destructive bullies do it when they're challenged. Serial bullies - the most dangerous of all - do it because they can. They carefully select one or more colleagues and set about deliberately undermining them.
"This person sets out deliberately ... to undermine and disable certain people whilst they support others, gradually growing more powerful. One set of people see (them) as a manipulator and a snake, others will see (them) as a genius."
