Look for the Signs

- If your child "closes" chat or Facebook windows when you enter the room
- Noticing your child emptying their caches or clearing their computer history
- Notice the moods of your child and look for anxiety after they've been online
Bullying is Not a normal part of growing up, despite popular belief. Children will experience conflict with one another, but bullying is intentional cruelty and harassment. It causes irreversible emotional, physical and mental anguish, even sexual abuse. Bullying behavior can set the stage for a lifetime of pain, and can lead to suicide. The consequences of bullying are serious.
Tips for Parents and Children:
Be proactive – Don't let a situation start affecting your child's life (at school or home) before seeking outside assistance
Use the resources (teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, SROs) at school to help
Look for witnesses who may be able to help if a situation arises.
Learn to limit what you (as a student) say about others when they are not there in order to limit conflict.
Stay Aware of what is happening online and in your local community. Protect your children by monitoring their online activity that will keep them safe without invading privacy.
