How do you define a bully? Bully –

A person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people.

So why do people bully each other? Where do kids learn to bully other kids? Which kids are being bullied? For years, even before some of us were alive there have been all sorts of cases of kids bullying other kids in school. So why are we just now talking about it?

We are just now talking about it because in the past couple of months children suicides have been brought to our attention as a result of other kids bullying them.

What are schools doing about these situations and what are their policies on how to handle these situations? What are teachers doing to help stop bullies? How can you identify if your child is a bully or is being bullied? How can you help stop bullies?

Don’t think bullying stops when you get out of school, some group up and others don’t.
