It can be very hard to do something out it, especially if the adult is the one you would normally turn to if you were being bullied. Bullies could be scared of getting picked on, so they do it first. Maybe bullies are showing off. Perhaps they see bullying as a way of being popular, of making themselves look tough, to get attention or make people afraid of them. Maybe they don t like themselves, so they take it out on somebody else.
Schoolwork seems to be suffering for no apparent reason.
Your child decides to change the route he or she goes to school. Your child is reluctant to go to school, or regularly complains of not feeling well. Your child seems different more emotional, easily upset, or angry. Ask your child directly. Take it seriously.
