Bullying - Dealing with it
Why is it important to address bullying? Isn’t it just kids being kids? Bullying is actually one of the most serious concerns in school today and often leads to serious violent crimes. Bullying is a form of victimization or peer abuse. It not only harms the target, but children who bully and those who are victimized often suffer emotional, physical and behavioral problems. A student’s ability to learn and achieve are also negatively affected. It is also one of the most common forms of stress among young people today.
What can parents and students do to prevent or address bullying?
Although it can never be eliminated completely, as much as half of all bullying can be prevented. Some children have the confidence and skills to stop bullying when it happens, but many do not. Adults have critical roles to play in helping to stop bullying, as do other children who witness it. Below are some tips for parents and students to help prevent bullying from occurring and safe methods of dealing with a bullying situation.

It is also one of the warning signs that youth are headed for other delinquent activity, social isolation or educational failure (OJJDP Model Program Guide: Truancy Prevention).
