I’m not talking about what parents can do to prevent their own children from bullying but what to do to prevent other kids from doing this.
My kids haven’t been bullied yet but I can imagine how it would feel. I often wonder what is in the best interest of the child though. Several kids in my own school system were bullied constantly. When it was reported it just got worse in and out of school.
Is there is anyway to prevent bullying that is effective for both the bully and the victim? Are there any programs out there that support this?
If your child has ever been bullied how did you rectify the situation or comfort him/her?

Hi, my five-year old step daughter had a problem with a bully at her school. She would tell us how all the kids were very afraid of the bully because he would chase the kids, pick on them and just be mean in general. As another poster commented, we worked on her confidence. We told her that most of the time a bully just isn't happy with him/herself and that's why they pick on other kids. We also told her that if you can just stand up for yourself and to the bully, that usually scares them off. The next time the bully picked on her, she stood up to him and told him to leave her alone and stop bullying other kids. From what we heard (from the teacher and her) the bully doesn't dare push our step-daughter or her friends around anymore. I think giving your kids the confidence to stand up for themselves is the key. Hard to do somethings, but well worth it.

Bullying is an issue that will never go away. At our school in one class the students at theend of the week kept a record of who bullied them and if that child bullied them in the class then they do not have to sit next to that child. The school had aforum on bullying mainly for the children. You basically just have to teach your children to be assertive. In time they learn to do so. My daughter was badly bullied but as she has grown older has learnt to be assertive.

Bullies gain strentgh by intimidation.You will seldom find a bully who will stand up to a crowd.If the crowd who watches a bully terrorize a victim they are also permitting it to happen by saying nothing. A bully cannot fight off several people,nor does he want to.He wants everyone so afraid they take no action.If the crowd would step up and get involved it should stop the bullying."Evil flourishes when good men refuse to do anything.

teach your kids how to be confident and stand up for themselves. Let them know beforehand, bullying can't be tolerated, if it is to happen they have to stand their ground. Explain to them how to do this without aggression. That bullies are scared too, thats why they do it.
I was bullied as a kid, and once I stood up for myself it never happened again.

Muslims are not the only religions that certainly do this. Jehovah Witnesses- they arrive on your place and attempt to speak to you approximately their god. Mormons- they believe while you at the instant are not Mormon you will hell no count what and being Mormon is the only thank you to certainly be saved. i'm no longer very constructive approximately Christians or Catholics yet they form of tend to additionally exhibit their thoughts with regard to the incorrect doings of alternative religions. it certainly relies upon interior the context issues are perceived and consider, Muslims are not evil nor does their Quran specify that they could desire to kill one yet another for the sake of humanity. this is all brainwashing, particularly from distinctive communities of Muslims that believe different religions are undesirable, why because of the fact they believe that subculture is made upon what they believe and because they are different religions besides Muslims they wont be as fortunate as them. remember one, 2 ,3 4 thousand human beings can't communicate for something of the Muslim inhabitants. Islam could nicely be non violent it certainly relies upon the way human beings examine it and grow to know this is message.

just teach them how to stand their ground, and stick up for themselves............ in my experience of being on the receiving end of being bullied back in my school days......... reporting them only really lasted 2 weeks before they started doing it again........ trying to intimidate them back, and give them a taste of their own medicine, they seemed to go strangley quiet........ especially after I started attempting full blooded sliding tackles on them when playing football (soccer) at break times.

It is preventable! all the child has to do is stand up 4 his/herself by simply saying, "Im the better one, here, and I refuse to stoop to your level" and walk away!!

Karate
And I'm serious. It builds confidence, teaches them when to use it and when not and they have it if they do need it.
