Years ago, school bullying wasn’t such a big ordeal. There were fist fights in the cafeteria or playgrounds and the students got their aggressions out. Sure, they might get detention or a pep talk from their parents but generally, kids handled their own bullying issues. Times have certainly changed. School bullying is more common than ever today and it is often times something that parents are not even remotely aware of. Unless you’re one of the lucky parents, you may never know that your child is being picked on at school. You might not have a clue that they feel threatened or intimidated. If you’re lucky, your child will talk to you. However, most kids hold onto the notion that if they tell someone about what is happening, the attacker will retaliate and harm them even more than previously.
