hello i never replied a posting.
in california parents volunteer to a project called cornner stone- to read kids a story about bully once a month.
Story reading and roll playing is to let all kids know what is bully. what is the right thing to do against bully.
Kids should stand up and say no to whoever bullies.
victim should not bite the hook of bullies and report to teacher and parents about bullying.
Teachers and parents should all be involved to stopy bullying.
More kids are encouraged to be friendly, which itself is " upstander" behavior, against bullies.
the more kids being friendly the less bullies.
hope you are direct and discuss about bullying behavior with teacher to let her/him know, especially if you have evidence that it is bullying
How to identify bullying- if one person or a group of person take the " power" controling/inflencing the group to unfairly outing one person. the person being treated unfairly and unfriendly is the victim. the ones who try to influence others with unfairness and insulting attitude/unfriendly behavior are bullies.
if you google bully you will find tons of defination to prove. and once you identify it is bullying you DO need to work with schools to stop them. it is not about being polite or political correct. it is about being fair to everyone. it is important for kid to understand she/he deserves to be treated equally no matter what.
there is no fault of victim at all!
