ABSTRACT

The article offers advice on what parents must do if their child is a victim of school bullying. Many children face bullying and that many of the school shootings have been committed by victims of bullying. Dr. Gilberto Velez-Domenech suggests that parents must tell the school but should not call the bully's parents, instead leave it to the school authorities. Parents should seek medical help because bullying might be a symptom of deeper issues and lastly, should not suggest fighting back.
