Teen Aggression & Bullying Workbook

Teen aggression and bullying is a problem that continues to grow, often disrupting our school, families, workplaces and communities. The causes of teen aggression and bullying vary from person to person and may include such factors as a teen having been exposed to physical or sexual abuse growing up; violent behaviour witnessed in the home or neighbourhood; violence in the media; socio-economic issues such as family poverty, need deprivation, unstable family environment, lack of family support and appropriate role models, and exposure to weapons.

The Teen Aggression & Bullying Workbook includes reproducible bullying worksheets and self-assessments designed to help teens engage in self-reflection, examine their thoughts and feelings that lead to feelings of aggression, and learn effective tools and techniques for effectively managing these feelings. This book combines two powerful psychological tools for the management of aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviours: self-assessment and journaling.

The Teen Aggression & Bullying Workbook is designed to be used either independently or as part of an integrated curriculum. Aggression and bullying worksheets, assessments, and journaling exercises may be used effectively with either individuals or with a group. The following tools are included in each section:

• Assessment instruments
• Activity handouts
• Quotations
• Reflective questions for journaling
• Educational handouts
