I don’t know if anyone will ever unseadtrnd bullying. I can’t lie and say I’ve never said mean things to anyone. I’ve gotten into my fair share of fights with friends in the past. But I never understood why kids make fun of the quiet kids that they don’t even know. I’ve been fortunate enough to make it through my life with very minimal bullying so far, despite the fact that I’m nerdy, odd, and not particularly pretty. The problem is that kids find a target and go with it because it makes them feel powerful, even though they’d be better people if they helped bullied kids instead. I’m sorry you went through that.It is funny, how the smallest decisions have such an impact on our lives. I’m the kind of person that believes everything happens for a reason, so I’m totally with you on this. I’m glad you decided to stay in school and were able to meet some good friends. For me, I know what it’s like to be with the same group of people, year in and year out. Sometimes it’s just hard to find good people in that group. I don’t have many friends in the current group I’m stuck with, but whenever I have to opportunity to branch out and meet new people, I always leave with a good number of new friends. Change is good.

RebekahWell, your video has been removed, but I can iiagmne what it was like. This topic always gets to me because my brother was bullied. And, sure enough, when he stood up for himself, he got in trouble, too. I don’t think he ever really resorted to violence but the two boys got into enough of a fight that they were both in trouble. He was bullied continuously by the same boy and even though the school knew about it, nothing they did actually changed anything. Perhaps the bullying changed forms (physical to verbal) but it continued. At one point my dad actually went directly to the parents of the other boy and told them if it didn’t stop he would press charges. I feel my brother had every right to defend himself if he were getting physically bullied. In fact, my dad even taught him basic ways of doing so in case anything happened. Unfortunately, teachers and schools often have little recourse to effectively discipline the bullies. My brother and the bully, for example, had to write a letter explaining how they felt and what happened. I’m not quite sure how that teaches the bully that the behaviour is unacceptable or the bullied child that the school is on their side to defend and protect them. I’m not sure what can be done to stop bullies but I’m pretty certain that what is done now is not usually effective. A slap on the wrist and a go play nice doesn’t work once the kids are back on the playground.

Bullying affects pploee at a very basic level. We want our children to be safe and we may even remember being bullied ourselves.Schools must be a sanctuary where students can learn and feel safe. Parents must also feel safe allowing their children to attend school.Rick

Michele, Your post reflects so much of the information that I learned as I was surveying the research in order to write my upcoming Responsive Classroom book, How to Bully Proof Your Classroom. I’d like to add one more suggestion for getting the conversation going with your child: There are many excellent children’s books about bullying. Sometimes reading a book together with your child can be a way to spark a discussion about a sensitive topic like bullying. The slight remove about discussing what happened to the character can help your child relax and reflect. Trudy Ludwig, Peggy Moss, Becky Rae McCain and even Katie Couric have written accurate and engaging books about kids being bullied.that are appropriate for children at a variety of elementary school grades (middle school too). Curling up with you and a good book may help your child open up about what’s going on at school. Go ahead – try a parent-child read aloud (my own daughter will tell you that I was still occasionally reading to her when she was in middle school!).
