A
grave worry for
most parents is
that their
child will
become a victim
of bullying.
Unfortunately
however some
parents believe
that bullying
is all part of
growing up and
that it is no
big deal. They
do not realize
just how
serious
bullying can
become if it is
not dealt with.
There can be
tragic
consequences if
it is
left. The
effects of
bullying can
carry right on
into adulthood
if its not
dealt with and
could ruin
someone¡¦s life
to the point
where that
actually commit
suicide. You
need to react
according to
the situation;
as a parent it
is your
responsibility
to protect your
child, to the
best of your
ability.
If
your child
confides in you
and tells you
that they¡¦re
being bullied,
you need to sit
down with them
and talk it
through. It
will be a big
deal for them
to finally
admit it and
mean that it is
serious enough
for them to ask
for help. They
will often be
reluctant to
talk about it
so you need to
be very
sympathetic and
actually listen
to what they
are
saying.
Your child will
be scared that
by telling you
they will
inflame the
situation so
you need to be
very
understanding
and reassure
them that they
have done the
right
thing.
You
child will
no doubt
be afraid
that by
confiding
in you,
they are
leaving
themselves
wide open
to the
bullying
getting
worse. It
is vital
for you to
explain
that the
only way
for it to
stop is
through
adult
intervention.
By taking
the
correct
action,
you can
stop this
case of
bullying
and
prevent
further
attacks.
You need to
find out how
your child has
tried to stop
the bullying
themselves and
give them other
ideas. If the
bullying reacts
in the right
way, the
likelihood is
that the bully
will stop. If
you feel that
your child is
not at risk of
being hurt
physically or
emotionally,
you should let
them try to
stop it.
A bully can
often be
stopped by
ignoring them
or using humor
as a defense
mechanism.
If your child
is confident
when he
approaches the
bully, he will
find it a lot
easier to
diffuse the
situation.
If
however you are
notice a change
in your
child¡¦s
confidence and
they appear to
be withdrawn,
you need to
intervene
immediately.
Contact the
child¡¦s school
and let their
teacher know
what has been
going on and
work together
with them to
find a
solution. You
should also
consider
speaking to the
parents of the
bully, although
this can
sometimes be a
bad idea. You
should always
talk to the
school first as
they will know
the parents of
the bully.
