Bullying
But there are signs which may suggest your child is being bullied:
reluctance to go to school, including frequent complaints of headaches or stomach aches
behavioural difficulties for no obvious reason
bruises, scratches or unusual injuries that have no reasonable explanation for them
loss or damage to their belongings with no feasible explanation
frightened to walk to and from school
having nightmares
stealing money or asking for money
Taking Action
If you believe your child is being bullied, you should:
talk to your child calmly about what is happening
reassure your child he or she has done the right thing by telling you about it
make a note of what your child tells you
encourage your child to report anything to the teacher
make an appointment to see your child's class teacher or the headteacher
report online videos of bullying and teach them how to stay safe online
What to Say
Tell children to walk away, tell a teacher, adult or friend and to avoid fighting.
