Help your children understand that students who are bullied are usually not to blame. Discuss ways that your child could react to a particular situation, and let the child role play or practice responses. Help your child feel empowered to handle the situation in a positive way. It is important that your child feel safe at school. Teachers, counselors, and administrators can help only when they know a problem exists.
Children give each other support, and a child who has friends is less of a target.
Understanding a pervasive problem in the schools. More Alike Than Different.
