How do you help your child from being helpless? That is the question most parents are pondering on upon learning that their child is being bullied from school. We have heard and even known stories of bullying that left children helpless and even their parents are powerless too. Even teachers are unable to defend students from being bullied right at the school campus.
When a child reports to a parent that he is being bullied at school, what should a parent do? Report it to the school administrators? Then what? The school will advise parents to wait while the complaint will be investigated? And during the” waiting period”, the child is still being bullied. That’s helplessness.
What do we need to do? Do we have to wait for more harrowing suicides caused by too much bullying? Now is the time to be proactive. It takes involvement of everyone concern; parents, teachers, media and most importantly the government. If the call for a more unswerving and meticulous prevention of bullying will be topmost priority of everyone, there would be no more helplessness and no more deaths.
