The frequent occurrence of school bullying incidents has made bullying prevention a global educational challenge. Sweden, Norway, and Finland in Northern Europe have pioneered comprehensive and effective systems for addressing school bullying, featuring early intervention and well-established frameworks. These three countries have enacted legislation, with governments leading the collaboration between universities and research institutions to develop anti-bullying programs. By implementing diverse anti-bullying curricula and activities, they have steadily advanced anti-bullying initiatives, enhancing the effectiveness of their efforts. In recent years, China has placed significant emphasis on combating school bullying. Accordingly, by drawing on the successful experiences of these Nordic countries while learning from their shortcomings, China can tailor strategies to its national context. In this vein, future efforts should focus on constructing a robust anti-bullying system, adhering to scientific research paradigms, and prioritizing the development of targeted anti-bullying programs to ensure tangible progress in addressing school bullying in China.
