Bullying as we all know has been present since the beginning of time. Even the years before us, there have been cases of bullying in school, at home and even in the workplace. It has become a part of the culture though sadly it should not have been.
What is sadder than this thought is the fact that bullying has evolved into a more atrocious and horrendous act of violence. Before when a child is being bullied at school, he can still go home and be at peace there without the worries that bullies will taunt them at home. But today, because of the onset of technology, bullying does not stop at the four walls of the campus. Because bullies can send texts, call on the phone and even post derogatory remarks via the social sites in the internet only to bully a child.
In fact, more and more cases of cyber bullying have been reported. And these abhorrent cases were even the cause of suicide of the bullied child. That is why, parents must not only look at the cases of bullying in school but must also safeguard their children in all the facets bullies will make use of only to torment a child. It is always best to maintain a healthy and open communication with your child in order for you to know before things get worse if indeed he or she is a victim of bullying, most especially the cyber kind.
