abstract="Bullying in our schools and neighborhoods is a significant problem for our youth. Over the past decade, professionals in Wisconsin from education, medicine, psychology, public health, and social work have worked to prevent bullying among our youth as part of a larger violence prevention effort. In this paper, we will provide an update on many of these efforts, including an overview of victimization and mental health implications; the impact of gender roles; and discussion of several bullying prevention initiatives, including a new prevention program in Southeastern Wisconsin, a school-based program being implemented across Wisconsin, and an update on the state health planâ??s bully prevention components. Finally, this article provides a number of resources for professionals and families to learn more about prevention of bullying in Wisconsin and the United States, and strategies for future bullying prevention.",
