How can I tell if my child is being bullied at school?

Three-quarters of kids say that at some point they have been teased or bullied, verbally or physically. Yes, some of this is inescapable for all children, and in mild doses teasing can be a normal part of learning to deal with others. But when does it cross the line?

If you notice that your child is anxious, preoccupied, not looking forward to school (school avoidance is a big tip off), plagued by unexplained stomachaches or diarrhea, reticent about certain topics, or otherwise acting strangely, it’s time to probe.It may take some pushing from you because most kids want to keep it a secret. Often, they’re ashamed or afraid to “tell” or scared that they’ll make the tormenting worse if their mom calls the teacher and makes a fuss. (Most kids think, “At least now I’m getting teased only for being a weirdo and a wimp.

If Mom and the teacher get involved, I’m a weirdo, wimp, rat, crybaby, and mama’s boy.”)From The Smart Parent's Guide: Getting Your Kids Through Checkups, Illnesses, and Accidents by Jennifer Trachtenberg.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
