Aggressive behavior, including physical, emotional and psychological acts, and cyberbullying do not have to be accepted as normal behavior. To better address why bullying has escalated in recent years, we need to get to the root of the causes. This discussion will hone in on the roles that victims, aggressors and bystanders play and the links between self-esteem and empathy.
