One of the main challenges children face at school is bullying,yet most of the parents don't even notice that his or her child doesn't have peace at school,it has led to most kids to shun studying,I pray you take some survey whether your child is safe not bullying others or being bullied,infact bullying has future consquences

I honestly don't know a single person who has made it out of school unscathed. I remember being mildly bullied but I ignored them and they eventually left me alone because I wasn't a fun target. My son has dealt with it to some extent and wouldn't tell me until way after the fact because he didn't want to get them in trouble and claims he doesn't remember who did it. It's frustrating as a parent but I can't do anything unless he tells me right away. Reporting it months later isn't going to help. I sat down with him and had a conversation about why it's important to tell someone. I hope it sunk in. I felt he was off when he came home from school and when his teacher told me he cried when she made him go outside for outdoor recess I knew something was off but he refused to talk to me about it until way after the fact. The best thing we can do is be a listening ear. Sometimes kids do have to deal with stuff on their own. I didn't tell my mom about my bullying issues until much later either and I feel like I did what I had to do to survive back in those days. Sometimes ignoring it is the best option while other times that doesn't work. I feel like it depends on each individual situation. In my case ignoring them worked because it's not fun when you don't give them the reaction they're looking for but more and more now it doesn't seem to matter what a kid does. My son said the bullies eventually left him alone and he hasn't complained about much since and went back to being himself. It's such a difficult situation for everyone involved.

The worst thing is children keep secret because they don't want to appear weak

@Kumukyawaliz My son it's more because he doesn't like the idea of getting people in trouble even if they do deserve it. He has a heart of gold and wants to believe in the best in people.

Education is the main part to prevent bullying case. Parents and teacher is the main source to educate. Child is like a white paper, when proper education is given, they know what is wrong and right. Lastly, sympathy and understanding each other should exist in our daily life.

@Kumukyawaliz Recently I watched a movie Front of the Class. It does not directly pointed the main character to be bulled but the some of his teacher and classmates look down of him because of Tourette syndrome. Only his mother think that his live can be changed and until he meet a new school principal that invited him to talk about this rare disease to the whole school during an event that eventually people understood and accepted him. Yet, he faced a challenge with looking for a teaching job in an elementary school after graduated from university. After numerous interview, finally a school administrator pursued the principal to accept him. Then he taught in the school and got a reward for his teaching effort. He also finished his master degree and now is a assistant principal in another school. I am kind of summarised the whole movie, which is based on the real person story. So, we should not looked down on anyone as there might be stronger than us in the future.

Kind of hard for kids to get bullied right now. Most schools do not have physical school at times so the kids don’t see each other. Parents can see there kids at school so they wouldn’t know if there child is being picked on unless there child says so. This many of the reason why school buses and in the halls and classroom that schools have cameras. But also bullying happens because the parents of the kids doing so allow them to or don’t teach them not to, or don’t even punish them. But also parents have to teach there kids when being picked on to stand up for yourself not everyone is coming to you and help. The only way to truly beat a bully is by ignoring them not giving them the attention or day.

It's sad children feel the need to bully other children. It causes much trauma in the person being bullied. Welcome to myLot.

The worst thing is many people don't care about bullying and usually they think it's just for fun and don't take serious. But actually, the victim of bullying needs aid.
