What is Bullying? Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged
children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems.
In order to be considered bullying, the behavior must be aggressive and include: An Imbalance of Power: Kids who bully use their power—such as physical
strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.
Repetition: Bullying behaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once.
Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.

Effects of Bullying Bullying can affect everyone—those who
are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Bullying is linked to many negative outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use, and suicide. It is important to talk to kids to determine whether bullying—or something else—is a concern.

Prevention in Schools "Matt's Safe School Law," a law passed
in 2011 to address bullying in schools. The law requires districts to have a bullying
policy in place and calls for informing parents of both parties involved in a bullying incident.

Prevention in Schools Bullying can threaten students’ physical and
emotional safety at school and can negatively impact their ability to learn.
The best way to address bullying is to stop it before it starts. Assess Bullying in Your School Engage Parents and Youth Create Policies and Rules Build a Safe Environment Educate Students and School Staff

Cyberbullying There are two kinds of cyberbullying, direct
attacks (messages sent to your kids directly) and cyberbullying by proxy (using others to help cyberbully the victim, either with or without the accomplice's knowledge). Because cyberbullying by proxy often gets adults involved in the harassment, it is much more dangerous. http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/how_it_works/in

Responding to Bullying When adults respond quickly and
consistently to bullying behavior, they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows this can stop bullying behavior over time.

Responding to Bullying
Intervene immediately. It is ok to get another adult to help.
Separate the kids involved. Make sure everyone is safe. Meet any immediate medical
or mental health needs. Stay calm. Reassure the kids
involved, including bystanders. Model respectful behavior
when you intervene.
Don’t ignore it. Don’t think kids can work it out without adult help.
Don’t immediately try to sort out the facts.
Don’t force other kids to say publicly what they saw.
Don’t question the children involved in front of other kids.
Don’t talk to the kids involved together, only separately.
Don’t make the kids involved apologize or patch up relations on the spot.
Do: Don’t:
