Are Bullies bullied at home?
Does bullying run in families? Many parents can tell you about school bullying. However, how many of us stop to think about the reasons why a child bullies? In many cases we know nothing about the child's home life and what goes on "behind closed doors". Most parents are also aware of other parents in their children's class or school who simply will not accept that their child is bullying another child and as a result refuse to co-operate with the school. How many parents wonder about...

Bullying: Is it really a matter of "Kids will be kids"?
What is bullying...to me?
As a child, I was a victim of bullying for years! In those days, when bullying was the center of attention: "Kids will be kids"!

Bullying has made history in my life!
As a child and a teenager, bullying was a part of my life...as a victim. It started before Kindergarten and did not end until my second year of High School. How bad was it? Well, it ranged from name calling to attempted murder.

After I calmly restrained myself from imploding like 3,948 mini-grenades, I realized...HB1 (who will be 8) still didn't quite get what bullying is all about. I spent the next 20 minutes making him FEEL what bullying was all about...and gave him a profound appreciation as to quite how lousy it ...

So you think you know when your child is being bullied? I wish I could say that yes you guys are right you do know. But to be honest parents your kids aren't going to tell you about it. I know because not that long ago I was bullied in High School and Junior High. Those were the worst years of my life and to be honest I wanted to die.
