Stop Bullying

Apparently, cases of bullying leave an indelible mark on both the victim and the bully. As such, when we strive to stop bullying, we are not only helping the victim and future victims, we are also helping bullies build a better future. The earlier the bully is corrected, the greater is the chance of him eliminating his negative behavior.

Everyone can contribute to our quest to stop bullying in our schools and elsewhere. Top priority undoubtedly goes to accepting this as a clear and present danger that must be stopped.

Second priority goes to being able to spot signs of bullying when we see one. When you see a kid inflicting harm, whether physical or emotional, on another, call their attention to it so that they will be aware that you don’t approve of such conduct. In some cases, this is all it takes for a young urchin to stop bullying. Many children simply don't know about the consequences of their bullying on others, and don't think about it, and once it's pointed out many of them will regret their actions.

If you see them doing it a second time even after you reprimanded them, call his attention again and mark him for observation as it may be a sign of chronic bullying. Treat it seriously and find out who you can notify about it, both in school and at home. That way, you can easily curtail his aggressive actions before it gets any worse. If you can stop bullying behaviors at an early stage, the chances of it worsening would be minimized.
