How do you pervent bullying?

There is a number of ways parents can prevent bullying. They can raise their children with a number of values discouraging such behaviour. They can encourage their children to stand up for themselves and practice assertive sentences to help them leave a situation. It is important to let your children know that should they ever be bullied, it is essential that they should report it immediately to an adult they trust. No one deserves to be bullied, and it is a human rights violation.

If bullying is occurring, parents should take action immediately. If the bullying is occurring in a school environment, they should confront their child's teacher or principal about it. They should then discuss ways for the teacher or principal to stop the bullying (e.g: having the bully suspended, having a talk with the bully and/or their parents). If the bullying continues, the parent should directly contact the bully's parents, and the school once again to let them know that it is still continuing. The bully may get suspended again. If the bullying still continues, it might be best to remove your child from the school and place them in another.
