Sit and Talk with Your Children

     After being placed in a High School, I have noticed a serious subject schools do not take lightly. School Bullying has now reached a medium which can't be controlled, but it can be monitored and prevented. Please speak with your student about what bullying may look like, how to prevent it, what they should do if they are bullied, and what they should do if they are bullying. Many kids can't escape a bully; their attacker is in the classroom, on the bus, on Facebook, on Twitter, on blogs, and on their phones. Don't rely on Teachers, Administrators, or other Students to solve this issue. Take action! Be aware that positive peer pressure can prevent a bully from attacking their victim. If one student speaks up against the bully, others will chime in and the bully will see that they are seen as uncool in front of their peers.
    Too many students have died due to being a victim of a bully. Prevention starts with education. Here is a link on school bullying.
