Hello Wildcats,

What if my child is a victim of Bullying? – Part 2
Some parents tell their children to strike back at bullies. That usually creates more problems than it solves. Here are some additional solutions:
· Let the school know. Keep a record of the times your child is bullied. Save harassing emails, text messages, etc. Make sure school officials know about these incidents at once if it has taken place at school or during school activities.
· Decide with school officials what the next step will need to be if it occurred at school or during school activities. Time will need to be given to school officials in order to investigate the matter. In some cases, it will need to be decided whether to contact law enforcement authorities.
· Find a new activity for your child that will allow her/him to focus on things she/he likes or does well and get them together with people who aren’t connected with their bullying problems.
