[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 655792, member: 14557"] Reread my last post and noticed I wasn't too coherent in what I tried to say. So lets try again. * Bullying starts from early on and often it sticks for a long time and becomes a default of the group. And often gets worse when time goes by and a victim becomes seen as subhuman * Kids who bully are not evil and kids who are bullied are not always 'the nice kids' (though some of course are.) * Effective way to interfere is to make kids aware what bullying is and influence to 'bystanders' so that they would not enable and encourage bullying. * Our own experiences with our bullied kid were, that the effective way to battle bullying was adult supervision and interfering in early stages with rather minimal punishment. Rebuke was enough, when it came early on, was consistent and things weren't let out of hand. * Kids are not likely to report bullying too reliably. Victims may not want to tell and others may not recognize what they are doing as bullying, not even when it is severe. [/QUOTE]
