Adolescent Resilience in the Face of Bullying: Protective Factors and Interventions

Abstract

Author(s):

Bullying is a pervasive issue affecting adolescents globally, leading to significant emotional and psychological distress. However, some adolescents exhibit remarkable resilience in the face of such adversity. This paper explores the concept of resilience among adolescents exposed to bullying, identifying key protective factors that contribute to their ability to cope and thrive despite negative experiences. It examines various interventions and strategies designed to bolster resilience, including family support, school-based programs, and individual counseling. By synthesizing current research and case studies, the paper aims to highlight effective practices and provide recommendations for enhancing resilience in bullied adolescents. The findings emphasize the importance of a multifaceted approach to intervention that includes both preventive and supportive measures to foster long-term emotional well-being.
