When Teasing Becomes Bullying

This is a serious matter.  Watch carefully what is going on in your
kids lives!

Most kids have been teased by a sibling or a friend at some point.
And it's not usually harmful when done in a playful, friendly, and
mutual way, and both kids find it funny.  But when teasing becomes
hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying
and needs to stop.

Bullying is intentional tormenting in physical, verbal, or
psychological ways.  It can range from hitting, shoving,
name-calling, threats, and mocking to extorting money and treasured
possessions.  Some kids bully by shunning others and spreading
rumors about them.  Others use email, chat rooms, instant messages,
social networking websites, and text messages to taunt others or
hurt their feelings.

It's important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off
as something that kids have to "tough out".  The effects can be
serious and affect kids' sense of self-worth and future
relationships.  In severe cases, bullying has contributed to
tragedies, such as school shootings.
