BE AWARE OF SIGNS YOUR CHILD IS BEING BULLIED

A bullied child may experience emotional hardships; he or she may get depressed or anxious or become moody without obvious reasons.

Social isolation is another warning sign. A victim of bullying can develop problems with self-esteem and display a disproportionate feeling of guilt.

The stress experienced by bullied children can manifest in physical symptoms, such as headaches or stomachaches. It may cause nightmares, bed wetting, bouts of crying, or eating disorders.

This list is by no means exhaustive. Remember that only your child can confirm or dispel your suspicions. Victims of bullying may be reluctant to open up, so you need to approach the topic tactfully and with care. Ask if he or she gets along with other children at school. If your child is too traumatized to talk, reach out for professional help. Investigate the matter further by talking to your child’s teachers and, if need be, the school’s principal.

Bullying may result in social exclusion and mental health problems. There are many signs, such as changes in mood and behavior, that may show your child is a victim of bullying. Only by talking to your child or investigating the matter at school can you confirm or dispel your suspicions.
