Bullying is a widespread problem from elementary school all the way through adulthood, and with today's social media and apps, cyberbullying is on the minds of many concerned parents. Bottom-line, any form of bullying is not something you or your child should endure. Many schools have a way to report bullying to counselors or administration. We hope the resources below will offer the tools and information to help our children avoid exhibiting bullying behavior, as well as effectively spot and stop it when they are targeted.
