Which presents the best rebuttal to the counterclaim? The best way to prevent bullying is to keep students off of social media outside of school hours. Schools should have a strong support system in place to help some students cope with the emotional pressures they experience from parents, teachers, and peers. Existing feelings of low self-esteem can make a student more vulnerable to bullying. A number of studies have shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing these feelings.
