Bullying affects more than just the victim
Crimes & Incidents, posted by , a resident of , on Jan 18, 2013 at 4:25 am

If bullying were a disease, it would be an epidemic in schools. National statistics from 2010 -- the latest available -- show more than a quarter of all kids have experienced bullying, and that more than 30 percent experience bullying once a month.

One of the most painful aspects of bullying is that it is resentful. Children who are bullied are usually afraid to speak out, even to parents and teachers. They fear that the bullying will get worse when they tell, and they are ashamed. These can make them risk for mental health problems, such as low self-esteem, stress, depression, or anxiety. They may also think about suicide, which we don't want to happen to our children. However, parents can help their children by encouraging them to open up about it. It maybe difficult for parents to talk about, but it is important that children know they can talk to you, before they are involved in bullying in any way. I'm a mother who's having a son who got bullied before through out his grade school days. And bullying has always been a tremendous concern for me. That is why, I thought of any possible way to help my son with his enduring pain to end. Good thing that one of my friend introduces me with this cell-phone based application for safety and protection. I was amazed with the service they have because if there is a real emergency, reaching 911 is much more easier and more accurate, for they are using GPS to locate the person does need of help. Here, you can also try this to protect your kids' from danger. Check this out: Web Link

The bullies enjoy bullying or they would not do it.

The vicitims have no choice, they can't fight back, the bullies attack with allies, and the school basically favors the bullies.

There are no wbesites for repentant guilt ridden bullies.

They don't care.
