while girls tend to use exclusion tactics and

rumors.

Schools have Zero-Tolerance policies to combat bullying.

Counselors also provide guidance lessons that teach

conflict-resolution and problem-solving techniques. Teachers

create positive atmospheres to discourage bullying.

Create open lines of communication so your child will

be able to talk with you when situations arise. Model

appropriate behaviors for handling anger and conflicts.

Avoid programs and games that encourage violent behaviors.

Conflicts are inevitable, but bullying should not be a normal occurrence in our

schools. With conflict-resolution skills and zero-tolerance policies, bullying

can be combated.
