No child should be afraid to ride a bus or go to school because a classmate threatens them. Children who have been bullied should also feel they can report the incident without repercussions.

Bullying comes in many forms. Whether the bullying is verbal, physical, relational, or cyberbullying, the results are detrimental.

The U.S. Department of Human Services set up a hotline that's available 24/7 to receive assistance stopping bullying. Call 1-800-273-8255.

While having daily discussions with family members about their day, share information on setting boundaries. Teach them the behavior you expect them to display, how to treat others, and provide a role model of the same.
