Bullying is such an important issue. It's good to have resources for parents and teachers. Thanks for the input! Bullying is such an important issue.

I think the same things can help students on the social media front as well-- strengthening their self-esteem and such. Some schools have a mandatory suspension policy for students who are caught engaging in cyberbullying. But social media is so pervasive and so hard to police. So far, my sister has just kept her teenage and preteen children from having access to social media sites to keep them away from the possible dangers, including bullying. Social media can be such a powerful tool, though, that it seems a shame to have to exclude students from it. I'll definitely keep reading up on this issue.

I definitely think a two-part effort to address the issue would be best-- identifying and helping the bullied students AND identifying and helping the bullies. There are so many complex reasons why students become bullies, but I'm sure there are tips that can help teachers and parents reach out to at least some of them. I'll look into that!

Such an important topic right now. In addition to Shar's question (tips for bullies on NOT bullying), I'd be interested in how to bully-proof kids on the social media front. Thanks for the tips.

For teachers, SEL (social / emotional learning) is a great program, especially when implemented in grade school. It can really help develop empathy and interpersonal communication skills. For parents of bullied children, I can recommend an excellent course called "The Total Bully Solution" by Adam Blum www.totalbullysolution.com Good article.
