What can a school community do about bullying? Preventing and responding to school bullying is the work of every administrator, teacher, school staff member, student and parent. It is important for each of these individuals to recognize his or her role and responsibility in creating a school where bullying is not tolerated. As appropriate to their roles, school community members can work together to apply the following steps of effective bullying prevention and response by: • Assessing the scope of the bullying problem and analyzing core causes; • Developing quality policies that define bullying and address appropriate responses to the problem; • Establishing school and classroom rules against bullying; • Applying school discipline rules, policies and sanctions fairly and consistently; • Training teachers and staff about bullying; • Educating students (bullies, targets and bystanders) about bullying; • Teaching parents to understand bullying and its consequences; • Establishing effective systems of supervision and strategies for reporting bullying; • Responding in a timely manner to all reports of bullying; • Partnering with law enforcement and mental health agencies to identify and address cases of serious bullying; • Establishing support programs and resources for both the target and bully; and • Promoting the norm for a bully-free school throughout the entire school community, especially with students.

Parents are their children's first teachers. The words and actions children are taught or allowed to use at home often become the words and actions they use in other settings. As families prepare their children to enter the world, lessons about respect and empathy become especially important. Being a positive role model means teaching your child by example. There are many ways parents can promote the respectful and thoughtful behaviors they would like to impart to their children. These may include the following: At home • Talk often with your child and listen carefully. • Ask about your child's school day, activities and friends. • Ask if your child feels safe and comfortable at school. • Talk about what bullying means. • Teach that bullying is unacceptable and can be dangerous. • Stop bullying when it happens at home. • Be clear about your expectations and consistently discipline when hurtful teasing and bullying occurs among siblings and peers. • Help your child understand the meaning and positive roles of friendship. • Teach that people can be different in many ways. • Teach and practice basic manners. • Help your child find and develop his/her personal talents. • Help your child choose positive and respectful friends. • Help your child choose TV, music and video programs that promote respect, kindness and understanding. • Talk with your child about their school experiences and peers. • Encourage your child to tell you when bullying happens at school. At school • Learn the school's rules and sanctions regarding bullying. • Participate in training the school may offer regarding bullying. • Stay in touch with your child's teacher. • As soon as you are aware of a bullying problem, report it to the school. • Accept help from the school with regard to bullying problems whether your child is the target, the bully or a bystander. Be a positive role model in any setting. Caring and responsible parents can use their choices, words and actions to model respectful behaviors and peaceful problem solving.
