Have You Prepared Your Child For The School Bully?
Part 1
by Patricia GattoSchool violence. The very words send shivers down a parent's spine. Does the phrase school bully evoke the same emotions? It should.
As subtle as it may seem, bullying is a form of violence. Experts estimate that almost 75% of today's youth will be involved in some aspect of bullying before they enter high school. And the chances are, your child will be one of the statistics.
Long gone is the idea that bullying is a natural process of youth, a coming of age. It is unacceptable behavior and the long lasting ramifications are far too great to ignore.
Before you can prepare your child for the bully, it is important to understand what constitutes this type of behavior. Bullying is defined as aggressive behavior repeatedly targeted at a child of lesser physical or emotional strength. However, although a child might not be the target of a bully, bystanders are also victims.
Bullying behavior is typically classified in three categories:
- Physical bullying is physical intimidation, hitting, kicking, pushing, choking, and/or spitting.
- Verbal bullying is name-calling, threats, taunting, teasing, rumor spreading, and slander.
- Social bullying is intentional exclusion and isolation from social and peer group activities by manipulation and rumor spreading.
The characteristics of a bully include impulsive, dominating behavior, a low frustration level, a lack of empathy, a need to be the center of attention, and unhealthy attitudes towards violence and its consequences.
Although many believe insecurity and self-loathing are at the root of a bully's problem, usually the opposite is true. Bullies tend to be over confidence. They portray a fearless nature and physical strength, qualities often admired by their peers.
Many factors within a child's environment can contribute to their aggressive behavior, including family, peers group, neighborhood, society, and school. Children who bully are more likely to experience violence or neglect in the home and have less supervision and involvement from their parents.
Children picked on by older siblings tend to become bullies themselves. Others see bullying as a means to gain acceptance, friendship, and popularity.
The victim of a bully is typically a child who appears insecure or cautious, a child that rarely defends or retaliates when confronted, and/or a child lacking in social skills or physical strength.
Patricia Gatto, together with her husband, John De Angelis are the authors of MILTON'S DILEMMA, a 32-page children's book. Richly illustrated by Kenneth Vincent, this is the tale of a lonely boy and his struggles with the school bullies.
MILTON'S DILEMMA is available for $15.95 through Joyful Productions on the web at Joyful Productions, Amazon.com, and by calling 570-857-0255. The authors/screenwriters are available for interviews and presentations, and are especially interested in participating in fundraisers for the benefit of children.

Cancer Horoscope
For a nation which has an almost evil reputation for bustle, bustle, bustle, and rush, rush, rush, we spend an enormous amount of time standing around in line in front of windows, just waiting.
