| Abstract: | The article focuses on the complexities of bullying prevention in schools, emphasizing that while pupil empowerment and peer influence are crucial, their effectiveness is limited by external factors such as parental attitudes, societal behavior models, and the specific challenges related to pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It highlights that bullying is a social process influenced by family and cultural norms, which can complicate school-based interventions and pupil voice authenticity. The article also discusses the frequent mislabelling of bullying by parents and the need for shared understanding between schools and families to foster consistent responses. Ultimately, it argues that sustainable bullying reduction requires a whole-community approach involving pupils, schools, parents, and society, recognizing that change is gradual and influenced by broader social contexts.
