Bullies and Getting Bullied

Bullying is a major issue these days. It has not happened to me but  I have read a lot about it. Bullying is a major issue in all the countries and needs to be solved immediately. Kids can be bullied about their height, color, gender, etc.

As you know kids get bullied everyday so the parents and sometimes the school tries to stop this major crisis from happening. Sometimes people don't know what to do in these types of situations. So I will now list as many solutions as I know and have read about in the past

 

1. We have to first understand and teach the kids the difference between bullying and teasing so that they know what to take for fun and what not to take for fun. The difference between teasing and bullying is that teasing is for fun where each other play with each other and is more like an April fools day. Bullying is when a person is physically or emotionally hurt suppose when he or she is  hit or judged.

2. We should also make sure the kid knows how to stand up to bullies. They should learn to stand their ground and ignore the comments from the bully because he will stop once the bully knows he is not getting to you.

3. You can coordinate with the school and contribute to stop bullying. The school can start a no bullying campaign and make posters all around the school saying no bullying which might then stop the bully or the school can take it to their parents or suspend the kid for a short time.

4. Make sure your kid is kind to everyone so he is respected more often.

5. The kid should also learn to open up to inform the school or their parents so they can stop getting bullied.

Now we are going to address an issue which is when your child is the bully. There can be many reasons for your child becoming a bully. It can be because he/she got bullied or wants attention or wants to be popular. To solve this:

1. You should understand the reason he is bullying other kids and help him. You should talk to him about bullying and convince him

2. You also have to be a role model to your own child and you can remind him or her that bullying is not necessary and it is wrong

3. You should decide the consequences if the practice continues. An Example would be to take away privileges such as tv and any other gadgets.

Last but not the least a suggestion for parents would be getting to know your child's friends circle so you can check on your child to make sure he is ok.
