How To Help A Child Overcome Bullying

Contact The Right Authorities

If a crime has been committed or someone is in immediate danger due to bullying, contact the authorities or dial 911. When bullying occurs during school hours or on school property, promptly contact the right authorities, starting with your child’s teacher and principal. You can also contact the school counselor and district superintendent. If bullying occurs on the bus, also be sure to contact the district transportation officials and your child’s bus driver. Each state addresses bullying in its own laws and educational policies. You can contact your state’s Department of Education to find out more about anti-bullying laws in your state. If you feel your school is not handling bullying appropriately, the Department of Education in your state is another resource you can use.
