%X BACKGROUND: Bullying has been long seen as a natural part of childhood and adolescence. However, a growing body of evidence suggests bullying and now cyberbullying may inflict harm or distress on targeted youth including physical, psychological, social, or educational harm. <br><br>PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to endorse the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine statement, summarize the report, and apply the recommendations to two focus areas: screening and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth as they relate to bullying and cyberbullying. <br><br>METHODS: Screening for bullying against youth; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth as a high-risk group for bullying victimization; and implications to address bullying against youth are exemplified. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Nurses need to promote policies that foster inclusive, supportive, safe, and healthy schools and environments for youth.<br><br>Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
