Bully Prevention Dear Parent, If you're like most people, you had to deal with a bully at some time during your childhood. Memories of that experience may still be as vivid as though it had happened yesterday. One in 10 school children is regularly harassed or attacked by bullies. But it's a serious problem. In fact, one in four children who bully will have a criminal record before the age of 30.
Bullies tend to be stronger and bigger than other children their age.
Girls as well as boys bully. Bullied children lose self-esteem. They feel alone. Their grades may suffer. Take your child's complaints of bullying seriously.
