Talk with your child/children about their day at school, ask
questions about their peers. If something does not seem right
with your child than be persistent and don’t give up.
Always make time to listen to your child.
Check you child’s email or computer chat
and monitor any on-line behavior that does
not feel right. Monitoring is the key to knowing
your child’s on-line chat sessions.

Let your child know that it is ok to tell the teacher if a
bully is hurting them physically or mentally, no matter
how many times it takes.
Have your child know that it is okay for them to walk
away from the bully and to avoid confrontation, and to
tell an adult as soon as possible.
Remind your child that bullying is not okay and it’s not
normal to be bullied.
Talk with your child often about preventing bullied
behavior and recognizing bullied behavior.

13. I AM- By Laura
I Am – By Laura
I am the person you bullied at school,
I am the person who didn‟t know how to be cool,
I am the person you alienated,
I am the person you ridiculed and hated.
I am the person who sat on her own,
I am the person who walked home alone,
I am the person you scared every day,
I am the person who had nothing to say.
I am the person with hurt in her eyes,
I am the person you never saw cry,
I am the person living alone with her fears,
I am the person destroyed by her peers.
I am the person who drowned in your scorn,
I am the person who wished she hadn‟t been born,
I am the person you destroyed for „fun‟,
I am the person, but not the only one.
I am the person whose name you don‟t know,
I am the person who just can‟t let go,
I am the person who has feelings too,
And I was a person, just like you.
