Some sites will be of more interest to you than others. If you find information that is really useful to you, you may wish to discuss it with family members.
You may also like to see what is being said to children and to schools in the other sections. This information could useful in talking to children and teachers about bullying problems.

Here are the sites:

4. Brothers, sisters and
friends.
This is part of a major source of information about bullying prepared for the
Scottish Council of Research in Education. This part provides advice on helping
a family member who is being bullied.
5. Home schooling
I find some parents whose children are being bullied at school are exploring
this possibility as an alternative to school attendance. Whether it is the best
course depends in part on the quality of education that can be provided at home
and at school - both academically and socially - and also the personality and
needs of the particular child. This site provides a case for home schooling
that some parents might like to consider.

This is a short article intended mainly for parents addressing the problem of
bullying from a parent viewpoint. You will find it by navigating through the
