July 14th 2007 04:07
Students:

3. Do not retaliate.
4. Respond evenly and firmly or say nothing and walk away.
5. Develop friendships and stick up for each other.
6. Act confident.
7. Take a different route to and from school.
8. Avoid unsupervised areas of school.
9. Do not bring expensive items to school.
Parents:
1. Encourage your child to share problems with you with the assurance that it is not tattling.
2. Praise and encourage your child - a confident child is less likely to be bullied.

4. Maintain contact with your child's school. Keep a detailed record of bullying episodes and communication with the school.
5. Encourage your child to participate in sports or physical activity to improve esteem.

I worked with a bully prevention program and was appalled at how prevalent it was in American schools.

I agree, I didn't have a huge problem with it but my husband did for years and he is still scarred.

I am sorry o hear that your husband was a victim. The only fights my son got into during school surrounded he or one of his friends being bullied. My son still talks about it!
