how do you stop bullying at schools?

Question

how do you stop a bully picking on a little inocent ?

Answer 1

Immediately get an appointment with the head of your child's school and complain. This kind of behavior is no longer to be allowed in schools, no matter the age of the child. Teachers and administrators will only get that message when you, as a parent, stand up for your child. Bullying stops when parents complain and teachers and adminstrators are forced to do their jobs.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, I think, that until all adults can be convinced that bullying is a problem, we'll always have bullies. I was bullied as a child - and I got it to stop by knocking the daylights out of a kid. But, this isn't a solution. When my child gets bullied, this is what I've done. I keep a journal of what exactly is happening. (You should too, if you're the one being bullied. Always keep a record - date it, and outline exactly what's happening. Tape record it, video, whatever you have to do) If you have a school handbook that states something like "every kid has a right to be safe in school" use this to your advantage. A kid who gets bullied apparently doesn't have this right. I speak to the teacher. (which, as a rule is useless, but part of the chain) If possible, I talk to the parent. (Sometimes this helps, but it depends on the parent) If these 2 things don't work, I have a letter that I send to the principal, parent, and teacher which outlines exactly what I'm going to do if th bullying continues. If it happens again, the letter says: I will go to the school, and insist on the cops being called. I will insist that the bully's parents be pulled away from work (esp since I'm calling the cops on their kid) I will demand a report. All documentation I've collected to this point will be put in an envelope and will be delivered to the school board. I'll get a lawyer. I will sue the pants off the parents, the school board and anyone else involved. I send this letter to the principal, vice principal, teacher, and I request (in the letter) that the letter be put in my kids file and the bully's file. They usually don't do this, but, since I have a copy, a hard copy and computer copy, I don't worry about it - it'll be their butts, not mine. This is *my* zero tolerance rule for bullies. I don't put up with it, period, and I make life miserable for everyone till it's resolved. Once I start talking lawsuit, the adults take notice. They realize I'm not going to let my kid get bullied because they can't control their kid. Amazing how fast they learn when money is at stake.

It depends who you are.
If you're a teacher, isolate the bully. Refuse to let them out at break and lunchtimes, have them monitored at all times. If they do or say anything out of hand, send letters home to the parents, keep them in after school and give them the more physical punishments.
I was told a fantastic punishment once. Get them to hold a textbook out at arms length for two to three minutes. Failure to keep their arms outstretched and perfectly horizontal results in an afterschool detention. It's complete murder on the arms.

If you're a fellow student.
Tell as many adults as possible. Keep telling them until you find someone who'll listen. If the victim says they don't want help and that they can sort it out themselves, completely ignore them.
Stick up for the victim if at all possible. Befriend them and try to make sure they're never on their own. Most bullies pick on their victims when none of the victim's friends are around. It's more intimidating. Also, most of the bullying happens when the bully is with their own freinds. That way they've got someone to show off to.
It's either that or beat the c*** out of the bully yourself. However, you should only do this after you've told as many adults as possible on the grounds that then, if you get reported and they decide to do something about it, you have a line of defence, that they failed to protect the real victim.

And if the bullying is really, really intense. Call the police.

Answer 4

Bullying won`t stop in schools

Answer 5

By example and training, with bullying rife amongst companies and employees, legal community against an unknowing public, politicians against party dissadents and so on. THESE CHILDREN are the result of a bullying society they only know what they've been taught or shown, benefits department threaten and bully applicants until they are stressed to the limits in turn transfering aggression to their children, companies do it to employees threaten jobs unless they undertake duties that exceed their normal physical attributes transfering stress and agression to children through parents or adults, help expected from legal personnell often through threats from lawyers means unfair settlements accepted out of court causing stress and anger to adults and passed on to children in the home, lost jobs to lower paid immigrants turns to anger and stress in the home when benefits call normal hard working people lazy when jobs are lost, bullying them into things they shouldn't be in and so on. Playground bullyiing is where home atmosphere tension is released. No government job should be permanent they should be changed every year and let them see just how hard the job market is there are many people in the job lines who are better qualified to do those jobs they should be handled by psycologists not some bullying type who thinks they are better than those trying to find work. Treating the unemployed as customers or clients of the job centers would be a better way to go for those who can't get a job just on their looks or because they aren't sportsmen or singers or some weed of a lawyer getting his own back on the world for being treated as a geek at school. this whole country is run on threats , strtess and anger and that transfers itself through homelife releases of tension to children and the playground as BULLYING. It needs a strong party or PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION to get the message across treat the parents as ordinary nice people and it will transfer to the children of our society.

Answer 6

You only become strong if you learn that bullies pick on your perceived weaknesses. If you learn from an early age how to protect yourself, bullies get hurt when they bully you.

I would say let the child find his/her own way, and provide back up and support rather than help.

There are many ways to skin a cat, and the best way is often the way that the child will find most effective when left to his/her own devices. The child will resort to its strengths to defend itself. Helping a child defeat a bully will only keep a child dependent.

Of course, it depends on how independent you want your child to become.

Answer 8

STOP bullying at schools - by doing it at HOME.

Answer 9

Let the school administrator know what's going on. It should not be tolerated. If nothing gets done, let a parent know. Nothing works better at solving a problem at school than an angry parent.

Just make up your mind to stop. You know it is wrong.
