What are the signs of bullying ..

First thing, its not the child who being bullied fault, and as soon as the child realized that, the better they will feel about themselves. To Stop bullying, it needs to be a punishable crime. It would lessen the amount of persons practicing it. And my next thought is the children who are doing the bullying needs help, there must be some sort of family dysfunction or social malfunction in that child life or the parents are just not paying attention. Also children learn from their parents. Bullying isn't only in schools its also found in the work place. Children who bully others either grows up to be wife beaters, violent to others or someones boss. So it's a cycle in our society and it needs to stop. If we want a better future for our kids.

I have a nine year old daughter who is a very sensitive and gentle soul. I do fear her being bullied and I am aware of the many signs which may indicate things are not as they should be. I think it boils down to knowing you own child and keeping the communication open. We ‘ve had talks about bullying and I explained she must come to me if anyone is making life difficult and how important it is that bullies be stopped. I can only hope now that she will talk to me about any problems at school especially bullying.
