The impact of bullying behavior is not confined to geographic boundaries. Negative impacts and lessons learned can be found across the world. To share the work being done outside the United States, StopBullying.gov is honored to highlight the work of Ditch(抛弃) the Label in the United Kingdom and its CEO Liam Hackett.

Imagine that you have just 【1】 a young person bullying one of his peers. How would you respond? Our 【2】 is often to punish the ‘bully’ and to 【3】 emotional support and reassurance to the ‘victim’. This is what has been used in many cases of bullying – punishment and reactive support.

What if I tell you that there are new and more effective ways of tackling the issue? Ways in which bullying could be prevented from happening in the first place?

Firstly, I would like you to 【4】 the words ‘bully’ and ‘victim’ from your vocabulary. At Ditch the Label, we never use either of those words to describe somebody because bullying is a behavior and not an identity. Society has certain 【5】 about those words that can be 【6】 damaging and frequently discourage people from reaching out for help. We already know that those who are identified as being a ‘bully’ are twice as likely to engage in crime later on in life.

We 【7】 8,850 young people aged 12-25 in the United Kingdom and we know that people who bully others are more likely to have difficulties at home, and probably have recently experienced something traumatic or 【8】 and aren’t dealing with it in positive ways. As a result, their physical and mental health suffers, with 29% feeling constantly physically ill. The similarity with those who have been bullied is clear – 27% report feeling constantly physically ill.

Finally, the support for the person being bullied is 【9】 and should never be ignored. But instead of punishing the person doing the bullying, try to find the root issues and help them through. This takes time and patience, but by helping them overcome their issues, you are 【10】 preventing numerous other people from being bullied.

However, there was no snow cover when biologist Karol Zub, at the Polish Academy of Sciences, observed an entirely white weasel hunting rodents(啮齿动物). 【1】 “At this very moment, I thought to myself. Wowl if this animal is so well visible, it must be a perfect target for predators,” Zub said.

His instincts were right 【2】 Zub and his colleagues analyzed weather data in the Bialowieza Forest going back to 1967. The average period with permanent snow cover decreased from about 80 days per year to 40 days. Historically, the snow cover disappears around Mar. 15. But in recent years, it disappeared by Feb. 21, more than three weeks earlier in the season. And there are fewer white weasels are about four to five times lower than then years ago.

As the number of days without permanent snow cover increased, the proportion of white weasels dropped dramatically. This crop is a case of what wildlife biologists call “camouflage(伪装) mismatch.” 【3】 Camouflage mismatch may cause the local extinction of white weasels, or at least a severe reduction in population.

【4】 Those who blend in live longer. Individuals who clash with their environment get eaten. There are 21 species known to change the color of their coats in winter. Zub predicts the other coat-changers are faring(遭遇) as badly as the humble weasel.

Life on Earth is reacting to climate change. Bears appear to be hibernating for fewer days. Tropical fish are swimming away from the equator in search of cooler waters. Some animals have moved up into the mountains to escape increased temperatures. But camouflage mismatch might be one of the worst effects. After all, it’s hard not to notice a flash of white fur in a dark forest.
