Wow-Mom Makes Bully Daughter Wear Thrift Store Clothes….
I am a firm believer of, ” Most of the times Bullying starts at home”. Some get it and others don’t. I also believe and teach that in order for us to put a stop to Bullying, we as parents have to take charge. We have to work with our children who might be Bullies or Bullied, and boost their confidence, self-esteem. At the same time we are responsible for teaching them to Respect their friends and other students specially if we live in a multi cultural society. Every culture or race has their own customs and sometimes...
Read MoreDo you think Bullying is a part of growing up? Listen to this kid….
Lately I have come across some adults who think and say that Bullying is a part of growing up and kids have to go through it. As they grow up Bullying will go away and they will just be fine. WHAT?? Are you one of those adults? I don’t think for a second that any child has to go through any kind of Bullying. IT IS NOT A PART OF GROWING UP. Why a kid has to go through it? The adults who think that way, just don’t want to deal with this problem. By doing this, they are becoming a part of this serious problem. Don’t you see...
Read MoreTo stop bullying, student’s mom escorts her in school…
See what this ever increasing epidemic of bullying is doing to some parents. After getting no help from school, one mother has decided to stay with her daughter at school during the recess and Lunch break. Now I don’t know the extent of bullying her daughter received or what kind of help she got from the school? but in my opinion it’s alarming. What if other parents decide to do the same thing? Would I have to quit my job and stay at my daughters’ school, in the future? Is this mom just paranoid? Should she just home...

I strongly believe that parents need to know what’s going on in their children’s lives. Now a days pretty much every kid has access to internet and other technology. We as parents need to know, how our kids are using them. I always insist on having a family contract (rules of using internet,phones etc.) between parents and children. This way children know exactly what their limitations are. You can get a FREE copy of that contract by going to www.bothsidesofbullying.com and emailing me. I don’t know how serious these girls...
Read MoreDO you believe in STG or STP?
We live in a society which believes in “Short Term Gain” rather than “Short Term Pain”, as my mentor Dov Baron taught me. Sadly most of us don’t know that ”Short Term Gain=Long Term Pain” and “Short Term Pain=Long Term Gain”. I belive that Bullies operate in the same way. They love to get Short Term Gain (Attention) by Bullying others but they forget the pain (suffering themselves), they will receive in the long run. I ask the Victims. What if you stand up and speak out against Bullies? I...

Cyberbullying is a much bigger threat than you think. In some cases it could have much worst effects than any other form of bullying.

CyberBullying Please don’t take it lightly. Make sure you know exactly, how/when/why your child is using internet and cell phones.

Read MoreDo you think Bullying stops with age?
It just changes its form. Bullies need to be helped as early as possible so bullying doesn’t get deeply rooted in their lives. For most of the bullies, bullying starts as a way to get attention, importance and fame. Kids start bullying by pushing, shoving, name calling etc. Teenage bullies get more physical. They get involved in fights, beat up other kids and start making gangs to get more attention. When the same bullies are not helped and they become adults, things can get really ugly. Some of them take aggression into their...
Read MoreDo you become a Bully when your child confronts you?
If you have already read my post ” Are you raising your children to be your slaves? ” ( http://bothsidesofbullying.com/are-you-raising-your-kids-to-be-your-slaves/ ), then it will make total sense; The other day my 10 years old daughter stood up and said she has a complaint against me, while we were having family time. Curious what that might be, I asked her to share that in front of my wife and younger daughter. She went on saying ( in very angry tone ), ” Dad you promised that you will spend quality time (family time) with...
Read MoreHow many Amandas’ have to commit suicide, because of Bullying?
Today I came across Amanda Brownell’s heart felt story. It reminded me of Amanda Todd from Coquitlam, BC Canada , who committed suicide just a few months ago. If you are a concerned parent or know other children who could use some help against Bullying, please read. 5 minutes of your time might change someone’s life. Both of them have the same tragic history. They were Bullied by other students because of who they were, how they expressed themselves and what others thought of their looks. They both were excessively Cyber...
