School bullying is nothing new. Everyone has heard about it. Many have been on the receiving end. As parents, we want to protect our children and ensure that they don’t fall prey to the same treatment. A recent bullying incident involving a young Australian captured on video and posted on YouTube has gone viral, raising public awareness of this universal issue and increasing the urgency of finding solutions to prevent bullying. According to the National Association of School Psychologists, bullying is the most common form of violence in our society with nearly 30 percent of U.S. students estimated to be involved, whether as the aggressor or the victim. While the act of bullying takes on many forms – verbal, emotional, cyber bullying – on average more than a quarter of a million students are reported to be physically attacked during the school day.
