Bullying is a major problem facing our youth today. In fact, more than 70 percent of young people say they have seen bullying in their schools, according to www.stopbullying.gov.
Not only can bullying cause physical injury and social and emotional distress, it can lead to anincreased risk for depression, loneliness and anxiety. Kids who are bullied are also more likely to experience changes in sleeping and eating patterns, as well as decreased academic achievement and school participation.
As parents, we want to do all we can to protect our children from being a target of or engaging in bullying behaviors — and the best way to do that is to stay informed.
