At times I have had students come to me and say I saw someone being bullied. I have also heard that some students are coming home upset because their friends were being bullied on the bus. Here is advice I give my students and you can use this at home. Tell your child they have the power to help and stop the situation if they follow these guide lines.
There are several things they can do in this situation. First, start by reporting it to a teacher or the bus driver immediately when they see this happening. Make sure they know this is not tattling but a way to help someone who is being bullied. You can say, "Asking an adult to help with this situation is like asking the nurse to help someone with a skinned knee".
They can also help buy saying, "That's not very nice" to the bully and ask the person to join them someplace else. Either way the student should not be left to feel alone. We all at sometimes have been bullied and I want our children to know this is something which is wrong and shouldn't be tolerated. I want this to be a safe zone not a place they fear.
