Has your child suddenly had declining grades or unexplained injuries? Have they purposely been trying to avoid school? They could be the victims of bullying.

“Bullying is a widespread problem among children, especially teenagers,” says Beth Nauert, M.D., a Texas pediatrician. “Bullying should always be taken very seriously by parents, educators, and the authorities.”

BULLYING SIGNSChildren who are bullied are repeatedly exposed to aggressive,

negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and have difficulty defending themselves, says Dr. Nauert.

Some clear signs of bullying that parents should watch for include:• unexplainable injuries,• lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry,

Bullying: What To Watch Helping Parents Understand the Signs

October is National Bullying Prevention Month

• feeling sick or faking illness,• changes in eating habit,• difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares,• not wanting to go to school,• running away from home.

ACTION PLAN FOR PARENTSBecause children who are bullied may be reluctant to talk

about it, parents who suspect bullying should take immediate action to help their children, says Dr. Nauert.

“Parents need to find out from their child who is doing the bullying, whether the bullying was verbal, physical, or cyberbullying, and where and when the bullying is happening,” she says. “They should then speak with their teacher, principal, school administrators, or local law enforcement.”
