 * Topic: ** Bullying: what is it and how can we protect the children? Bullying in school has become a significant problem in the school system. It has now been taken to a whole new level in cyberbullying. Parents are unaware of the damage that bullying may be having on their children. With the invention of internet technology, a whole new pedophile playground has developed. When it comes to cyberbullying, parents are typically at a disadvantage due to inhibitions about technology. Parents need to know the signs and symptoms to protect their children and take action against bullies harassing their children.


 * Title: Bullying **
 * Presentation Summary ** : Bullying has become a very serious problem in our schools and in cyberspace as well. The victims and bullies whose behavior meets the definition of bullying have been identified through research to cross over between school and the internet. Bullies have been described as aggressive, trying to threaten, exert control, harass, and even stalk their victims. The characteristics of victims include low self-esteem, dropping grades, and diminished social connectedness also crosses between school and internet sites. To identify if your child is involved in bullying or the effects of it, you need to stay in close communication with your teen. Monitor where they are going on the internet, and who their friends are in school and on Facebook. Once you have identified there is bullying activity involving your child as the victim, you should stop, block, and tell. Keep records of any contact the bully has made, do NOT contact the harasser, and call the police and other school officials to make them aware. To be proactive in the process of bullying prevention, you can teach them to walk away from a threatening situation, to tell an adult if harassment becomes severe, and to stay involved in your child’s social network and personal life. These interventions may help reduce the severity of bullying in school and in cyberspace in the future.
