Yup, bullying can be found anywhere, especially on schools, no matter how big or small, public or private schools. There is always a person who loves to bully others. Here are some simple tips if you suspect that your child is getting bullied.

1. BE OBSERVANT. It's important that parents are present in their children's lives. Be observant of your child, he'll start behaving differently. Even if you ask them flat out, "is there anybody bullying?" They'll likely deny, especially if the bully is someone they look up to or admire. Of course, they won't say that the person is mean to them because they want to be friends with that person.
