Bullying has received international attention since the pioneering research over thirty years ago by Scandinavian psychologist Dan Olweus (1978). While prevention programs have proliferated, this article charts new ground by applying Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) to bullying in an example involving young girls. The author describes how girls benefit from having a supportive network of trustworthy adults who are informed about the nature of girl bullying and open to meaningful dialogue about real friendship. Though lingering social norms may still discourage girls from acknowledging conflict directly, adults can help kids rise above these damaging constraints by teaching them practical skills for expressing anger in constructive ways and giving them new insights to readily recognize incidents of cruelty disguised as friendship.
