Answer to Question 1

Heavy users of media tend to do less pleasure reading, less studying of non-screen materials, and report getting poorer grades in school than lighter users.
Playing violent video games led to increases in self-reported aggression across the school year.
An experimental study that gave some families of boys video games found these boys spent less time reading and studying and had lower teacher-reported reading and writing scores.

Answer to Question 2

Educating teachers, children, and parents about bullying
Asking children to watch out for signs of bullying
Asking children to mediate conflicts between bullies and victims
Making friends with lonely or isolated children to prevent them from becoming targets of bullying
Bullies caught in the caught in the act were reassigned to different classes from their victims
Increasing bystanders empathy and support of victimized peers helps reduce bullying
