UNDERSTAND WHAT BULLYING ISBullying is systematically and chronically inflicting physical hurt and/or psychological distress on another.
Bullying Behavior:
• Has the intent to harm
• Is repeated
• Has a real or perceived imbalance of power.
UNDERSTAND WHAT BULLYING IS NOTConflict is a normal part of growing up, bullying is not. Can you distinguish bullying from normal conflict?
The student doing the bullying:
• Picks on their target day after day (repetition).
• Wins because their target is smaller, younger, or less socially able to cope (power imbalance).
• Enjoys seeing the target afraid and upset (intent to harm).
CYBERBULLYING is the term applied to bullying over the Internet, via email, text messaging, and similar technological modes of communication. Cyber bullying includes sending or posting harmful material or engaging in other forms of social aggression. This form of bullying can occur well beyond the school grounds. When learning is interrupted due to cyber bullying, the school will investigate the incident whether it occurred on or off school grounds.

FIVE ACTIONS FAMILIES CAN TAKE TO HELP ELIMINATE BULLYING
From The Bully Project
Learn what bullying is and what it is not. This will help you to form a plan with your child to prevent and respond to bullying.
Your child needs to hear from you explicitly that it’s not normal, okay or tolerable for them to bully, to be bullied or to stand by and just watch other kids be bullied.
Encourage your child to use the Stop, Walk and Talk response and to help others use it as well.
If you suspect that your child is being bullied at school, contact your child’s teacher or principal.
Some possible signs are: Frequent loss of personal belongings.
Complaints of headaches or stomachaches.
