STOP BULLYING

Stop Bullying - School Counselor insights and recommendations.

Hello,
I wrote this a while back and would like to share. I hope this helps someone.
Remember, it takes strength and courage to reach out for help, never feel ashamed or inadequate for doing this. Parents, you can be very close indeed to your children, and I respect that. In my experience, bullying is a different and very unique problem that many scared children hide from their parents for various reasons. It would take us a while to scratch the surface, that’s why there needs to be a role model for those experiencing bullying to get support and mentoring, doing it alone, is like playing Michael Jordan in basketball without your gym shoes tied. Not a realistic proposition and the likelihood of success is problematic. Children and students, reach out, the first step with many things is the hardest.
