School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Professor James O'Higgins Norman:
The key thing about resilience is that the more resilience a person has within themselves, hopefully the better they can cope with whatever life throws at them but we must also be careful that we do not victim blame and tell people that they are not dealing with bullying well because they do not have enough resilience. People may be resilient in one way but not in another. It is quite complex.
