How to Prevent Bullying
Parents, school staff, and other caring adults have a role to play in preventing bullying.
Help Kids Understand Bullying
Talking about bullying directly is an important step in understanding how the issue might be affecting kids. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions, but it is important to encourage kids to answer them honestly.
Encourage Kids to Do What They Love
Ashwaq - Bullying is not harmful when done in a playful, friendly, and mutual way, and kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to stop. Bullying is when someone is being hurt either by words or actions, feels bad because of it, and has a hard time stopping what is happening to them. The most common form of bullying is cyber-bullying and takes place by the use of technology like the internet,email, cell phones, social media or pictures to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target a person harmful or teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to stop.
Common treatment for bullying in children are: 1. Advice Kids about bullying and how to face it. 2. Act brave, walk away, and ignore the bully, 3. Talk about it, 4. Attempt to identify the cause, 5. Block the bully, 6. Report the person to service providers, 7. Do not wait too long to ask for help, 8.Get law enforcement involved,
It is essential that schools and media play a significant
role in the refinement of children's ethics
Not only family but school and teachers should pay attention to this.

Family, school and media institutions have a role in reducing this phenomenon in addition to the laws that must be put in place to eliminate this p...
Parents and teachers must make it clear to the children that bullying is not OK and it is not normal and that the children should report any such incidences immediately.
Yes, responsibility for this firstly family and second school and third community.
Bullying is a "clear and present" danger in all societies, with many kids being bullied in "cyber-space". Educating kids about it and supporting them against bullying and prohibiting them from bullying others is the first steps. Schools should have zero tolerance policy.
difficult to treat but not impossible. Collaborations with family, school and the children are paramount pillar of the remedy. I was bullied for my religion ironically in Turkey in my college time for a long time cannot remember constantly easy 3 years but as I have strong spirituality , I just ignored them and smile them. it did not effect me at all. I even achieved %1 top at the university entrance exam. Bullied and intimidated professionally again my political views ( being conservative and have a conservative father with a high rank governmental post) which do not match the rest of the radiology society. This one hurted me in some extend but again I was the winner :) they failed me Associate Professor Exam , I took the case to the court passed the second phase ( file phase) and then they again failed me several times on oral exam ( final part) What happens next is ; as you cannot take the oral part of the exam to the court , I decided to left my country and settled down to UK and after a long while ( 16 years later) same organisation with different people recognised my work and awarded me as Associate Professor of Radiology. Sorry about my detailed story guys but keep the spirits up. if you are a hard working and motivated individual you cannot be beaten by bullies. Sooner or later you will be the winner. Have a nice day and all the best!
Maria Montessori told that the child is always adopted to his/her time and environments - we need to change many ''environmental'' causes for violence...starting with our (I mean adults' ) behaviour. They are looking us and becoming like we are - arrogant, selfish, egocentric etc.
Protect your kid all the time. As a parent you must have your physical presence with the kid all the time. One of your eyes must always be with him. Do not allow others to be closer to your kid until he/she reaches the age of 16 and more. In this way you forbid others to be close to him and give him troubles.
Through regular counselling of students, both the bullied and the bully, complemented by strict surveillance of the school premises and strict disciplinary actions for misconduct in this regard.

Is there a role for the government to play in regulating bullying? Hmm. Not so sure. Who will pay for the communication campaigns? Who will "educate" the citizens?
Bullying in schools is culture but serious disciplinary actions against bullyer. No compromising.
As someone who has had the misfortune to have experience both as bully and bullied I can say that many suggestions here miss the true causes of bullying.
Bullying as an act is typically done out of insecurity (economic, racial, social, etc) to impose their insecurity onto someone else. Sometimes this behavior begins because of a genetic predisposition towards malevolence or lack of empathy, but I believe this to be a minority among bullies(citation needed) and that focus should be on the greater, more combatable component: insecurity.
Remedies on how to deal with the individual; the bully, are well meaning and productive, but do not stop more bullies from being made. The bully as an individual must be regarded as a symptom of a social imbalance that creates insecurity. Solutions that treat individuals who are bullies often ignore this underlying social cause of the behavior.
I agree that there are many levels to this problem correctly identified in previous comments:
1. Child Environments (school, camp, neighborhood)
2. Family Unit (where child is first socialized)
3. Community (where families live together)
4. Society (multiple communities)
Such treatments as counseling, work-programs, retreats, discipline, athletic programs, social awareness training, and awareness campaigns will all likely produce results on several levels.
However treating individual symptoms of a disease is a far way from combating it effectively. As comforting as it is to think that every child reformed is a triumph for social justice (it is), remedying the evil that creates such behavior is a frightfully complicated challenge.
Bullies often come from family units that experience strife and inequity, family units like this are found in most communities. So how do we create communities that do not have family units experiencing strife? If we are to talk honestly about changing societal trends we need to talk about changing societal norms that have permitted our communities to have unsupported family units.
We need to call for a society that will empower communities to provide help for families that need it. This will be our remedy for 'trouble children' from 'troubled homes' and also repair splintered communities by increasing their visibility and effectiveness.
So how do we do this societal reform? Surely 'empowering communities' with the tools to solve social and economic inequality will be expensive? Yes, the price of creating universal safe-space for children will be extremely high. But we as academics must persuade the public to invest in themselves because it will always be worth it, if not for the communities it will strengthen, then for the children they can protect.
I am neither doctor, nor bureaucrat, or politician. How this can be implemented is beyond me, but I am certain this is the remedy. For a start, we as specialists must partner with community leaders to better understand their needs.
