Defeat a bully safely: no boxing gloves needed—a bullying guide for kids and parents.

How common is bullying? Almost three-quarters of children worldwide are affected by bullying. Bullying affects all youth in some way, including those who are bullied, those who bully others, and those who witness bullying. The effects of bullying may continue into adulthood. There is no single profile of a child involved in bullying episodes. In this six-chapter guide, designed for youths and parents, you will learn how to clearly identify bullying and stand up to it safely. This guide, in simple language, helps kids understand: the four main types of bullying, why they may be targeted by bullies, how to cope with bullying, the serious effects of bullying, and what they can practically do about it. Kids who know what bullying is can better identify it and more readily talk about bullying if it happens to them or others. In addition, this guide discusses the importance of improving self-esteem and self-acceptance.

This guide further helps a young person talk about how to stand up to kids who bully them. This guide will help encourage kids to speak to a trusted adult if they are bullied or see others being bullied. Parents, caregivers, school staff, and other caring adults can give comfort, support, and advice with the help of this guide. When adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior, they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows this support can stop bullying behavior over time. Remember bullying is always wrong and never the fault of the child that is victimized by bulling.
