Schools have to ensure that values and competences such as respect,volunteering,altruism,mutual help active listening assertiveness and empathy are taught implicitly through every aspect of the curriculum.We need to fight against discrimination based on racism, sexism, barriers to learning or homophobia.Abuse is the common origin of intolerance towards any kind of difference and makes inequality even more severe One of the duties schools have to undertake is social inclusion and make all the community understand the benefits of school diversity.Young people who are perceived as different from their peers are often at a higher risk of being bullied such as having different sexual orientation, having disabilities, being overweight or coming from other countries, religions and cultural background. A whole school approach is the most effective way to prevent bullying.When everyone works together for a safe, inclusive,and accepting school, students receive consistent messages and responses about bullying and positive relationships at school,at home,in sports and in the neighborhood.By providing consistent messages,responses and supports that address bullying problems,school communities can promote positive healthy relationships.
