"High profile acts of violence, particularly in schools, can confuse and frighten children who may feel in danger or worry that their friends or loved-ones are at risk. They will look to adults for information and guidance on how to react. Parents and school personnel can help children feel safe by establishing a sense of normalcy and security and talking with them about their fears." |

| | | | | | | | | "If you grew up and are functioning in American society, you can probably provide your own definition of bullying and have had some level of personal experience with it. Bullying is an all-too-common human activity that has existed since the beginning of recorded history and is present in most cultures. It is enacted by both boys and girls, as well as women and men. Research suggests that somewhere between 30 percent and 60 percent of American schoolchildren report being bullied. Bullying hurts. Those who are bullied hate it. They fear it, dread it and try to avoid it. One recent survey found that 58 percent of school children claimed they stayed home from school on at least one day to avoid being bullied.Bullying is about power. A colleague of ours says, “It’s all about big on little, many on few, smart on less smart, older on younger.” We’re sure you know this fact. At some point, you’ve probably been the smaller one, the younger one or had your interests and feelings unfairly damaged by someone more powerful than you. The Traditional School Bully
In the drama of the school bully, there are five roles available. You can star as the bully, co-star as the victim or you can play a smaller part as a peer bystander, school official or parent (of the bully, the victim or a bystander).Most traditional bullying interventions start with the bully. The bully needs to be taught a lesson. And because bullying is inherently unfair, those playing the role of an adult bystander or victim’s parent have a natural urge to teach the bully a lesson through some sort of punishment." |

Here are some reasons a student might want to talk to the School Counselor: * "I am getting picked on at the bus stop and I do not know what to do about it." * "My best friend is not talking to me and it is making me really sad." * "I'm new to this school, and I'm really scared." Here are some reasons parents might want to talk to a School Counselor: * "Sarah doesn't want to go to school in the morning." * "I'm concerned because Allen keeps telling me that he doesn't have any friends. Do you think a friendship group might help." * "Kevin has difficulty going to sleep at night and often has nightmares." For more reasons why a student or parent might want to visit a school counselor please see: http://www.falmouthschools.org/k2counseling/why.html |
