We seem to work so hard on bullying awareness and prevention. Every year we try to get a handle on why some kids (and some adults) bully, what effects it has, and how we can stop it. And yet, it goes on. What are we missing? TVOParents has pulled together the experts, (including parents who have suffered through it with their own children) to try to explain the bullied, the bullies, and how bullying affects the whole child - the brain, the body and the soul. We hope you find what you need here.
And if you need to share your story - if you think talking about it might help stop bullying - please tell us about your experiences. Tell us what you think will work to stop bullying. And maybe, hopefully, we can all help stop the hurt.
