What can I do if my chronically ill child is being bullied?

Here’s some advice from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Stop Bullying Now campaign, which is targeted to children with special needs:Be supportive, and encourage your child to describe who was involved and how and what happened. Don’t encourage your child to fight back; that could make the problem worse. Usually, kids are able to tell you who bullied them, but some kids with disabilities don’t realize that it may be a “friend” who’s actually making fun of them.

Know who your child’s true friends are, and watch for bullies. Talk to your child’s teacher, and if that doesn’t fix the problem, see the principal and get your complaint down in writing. It may be helpful to also take the issue to the school district by scheduling an IEP team meeting to talk about what the school is doing to stop the harassment and to spell out a plan in your child’s IEP document.

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.
