It's TRUE children under 12 get bullied too...

9/12/2011

 
I keep hearing that bullying is more prevalent in children over the age of 12.
Well, I'm here to tell you that it is simply “not true.” The sad FACT is that children under 12 are being bullied now more than ever.

These are the main signs for Under 12 who are being subjected to bullying at school:

Your child may use every excuse under the sun to try to hide that she is being bullied. Look out for any of the following:

not wanting to go to school

feeling ill in the mornings

beginning to do less well in their school work

becoming withdrawn, starting to stammer, lacking confidence

becoming distressed and anxious, stopping eating

having trouble getting to sleep at night

crying themselves to sleep, having nightmares

possessions go missing

asking for money or starting to steal (to pay the bully)

'loses' their pocket money

refusing to talk about what's wrong

having unexplained bruises, cuts, scratches

beginning to bully other children, siblings

becoming aggressive and unreasonable

personality changes, not being themselves

giving improbable excuses for any of the above
