Tips on
dealing with
bullying
North AmericAN Precis syNdicAte
According to the experts at the Na-
tional Education Association (NEA),
one caring adult can make all the dif-
ference in the life of a child who’s be-
ing bullied.
It’s crucial for bullied students to
know which adults in their school or
community they can go to in their time
of distress — adults who will really lis-
ten to them and then act on their be-
half. Bullied students who go it alone
because they don’t know to whom to
turn are far more likely to fall behind
in their studies, get sick, miss school
and drop out — even commit suicide.
Whether you’re a parent, a teacher
or a friend of the family, there are six
steps you can take to help the children
in your life.
