Once I know the many forms of bullying, I look for information on how we as parents identify if our child has become a victim of bullying acts. I think by knowing the signs, we can help our child sooner to prevent further damage on him or her. The followings are signs of children who become victims of bully:

• Find excuses to miss school


• Fear of going to school


• Stop talking about school


• Being withdrawn, unhappy and moody


• Sudden decreases in academic performance


• Has few or no friends with whom he or she spends time with


• Take long or illogical routes to school


• Unexplained bruises, scratches and cuts


• Loss of appetite or trouble sleeping


• Display aggressive behavior at home (sometime, if your child is bullied, he or she will take it out on his or her siblings)
