 Re: Questions on bullies. (a tick long) | |
This is a really hard topic, I see all points, if a parent isn't there when the bullying is happening it is very hard to correct it, but if a child and parent come to you and say there is a problem it should definatley be addressed. But at the same time I think children NEED to learn how to handle problems even bullying, bullys exsist in all walks of life, it's not just a childs issue, all of my kids have had to deal with some form of bullying, I stand back, I give advice and I only step in if I see it has gone to a new level, like how your brother is feeling. Once the child feels truly threatened then it is time to not only get the parents of the bully involved but the school and any other adult that needs to be involved, involved. Like I said a tough situation.
