Beware of Bullying

Sunday January 25, 2009
All too often, the child who is getting bullied is afraid to let the teacher or parent know that they are being bullied. Why? This child is afraid of the repercussions from telling on the bully in the event that the bully finds out he/she was ratted out. Bullyhelp.org reports that: 1 out of 4 kids is bullied and that 1 out of 5 kids admits to being a bully. It is important for both parents and educators to understand what bullying is and how you can help the child who is getting bullied. Do your part to reduce the incidents of bullying.
