However, to listen to Amy’s misfortune is again like many of the stories of those who survived that dreadful day the levies broke. Amy and her family actually in my opinion did not have to suffer like those that were stranded for days is in New Orleans due to their preplanned trip to Hawaii.

Bowen family systems theory is used for understanding both family emotional and relationship processes (Knauth, 2003). Kolbert, Crothers, and Field (2013) suggest that although there are few publications on Bowen family systems theory, it provides counsellors with a framework for clients, specifically with helping adolescents understand how their functioning and identity have been influenced by their family.

Bullying has been named an “emerging public health issue requiring intervention” (Ansary, Elias, Greene, & Green, 2015, p. 27). As a major problem in schools around the world, the issue of bullying must be addressed in order to keep students physically and emotionally safe.
