This document discusses developing positive relationships among students to prevent bullying. It argues that positive relationships are formed in cooperative situations where students work together towards common goals, while bullying occurs more in competitive situations where students work against each other. The document summarizes research showing the benefits of positive peer relationships, such as higher achievement and well-being, and the negative effects of rejection and isolation. It proposes that teaching students cooperative learning skills and constructive conflict resolution can help promote prosocial behavior over bullying by creating more cooperative and less competitive contexts among students.
