1.2 Explain How To Support The Bully With Suspected Bullying.
How to support the victim, family members and how to handle the bully with suspected or alleged bullying

When bullying is alleged or suspected we must consider how to approach and deal with those who are affected by the issue; this includes the bully, the family of both parties and the victim especially. How to support the victim
If you suspect any bullying to be occurring, you must attempt to get the child to open up and talk to you. As a professional you could promptly ask the child sentences such as "is everything feeling okay? You look quite upset this morning", if you directly start the conversation by asking the child are they being bullied they might tend to not tell you as they may feel threatened or scared.
As the child

In some situations it is notable to ask the bully their side of the story as it could be a misunderstanding or if the child is young they may not know the actual bullies name.
However if the child is absolutely certain they know who the bully is then you must assure that you follow the schools bullying protocols on how to handle bullying situation with consideration of the severity of the bullying. when punishing the children for their inappropriate behavior you must use negative reinforcements such as no play to assure that children understand that the behavior will not be tolerated within the school. All children must be aware that bullying is not tolerable and there are and the punishments for it.
In some cases a child can be seen to be the victim, this sounds bizarre to begin with; however, some see that bullying is used as a defense mechanism the person has created in order to hide their insecurities. Bullies also may do this to get others attention as there may be problems or abuse that is occurring at home (this may include possible sexual abuse) this can be useful to know on times. Although we must not think that this is occurring to every child that is a

    These children start to believe they are less of a person or doubt their self. It can follow them long into adulthood and cause havoc on all their future relationship. In worst case scenarios children who are bullied can become suicidal, homicidal, or bullies themselves later in life. Families are also affected by bullying especially when their child is the victim. Three patterns or styles of parenting associated with the development of bullying are intrusive-overprotecting parenting, parental psychological over control, and parental coercion (Perry et al., 2001).We need to stop the cycle early on and by doing that it starts here in our schools.…

Respond calmly and consistently to all incidents. Provide long-term and positive programmes of personal development where it is required. Record and deal with all the incidents as quickly as…

    It’s important to support the victim of the bullying by making sure that you listen to the child when he/ she is speaking to you, making solid eye contact. You have to assure the victim that it is not their fault because when a child is bullied they will think that there is something wrong with them or something they may have done. It’s also important to give advice to the victim of what to do if the bullying is still going on, this could involve acting out how to react to the bully if he/she turns up again. You could go on to support the victim by working together with the school and parents, as they will all have valuable input and will support in protecting the child further if required to.…

    I think it would also be important to reassure the individual that they are not alone as many people suffer and that it is the bully that has the problem and not them. I would try to document the allegations with as much detail as I could from the individual so that I have an accurate record of events from their perspective. When supporting an individual that has been bullied it is important to think about the way you communicate with them, using positive language and facial expressions, listening carefully and attentively to show you care and want to help and support them, recognising and praising their efforts and not judging in any way.…

    Bullying happens when they are not around either of them people and also some kids are too scared to tell their parents because they don’t know how they will act nor do they know if they will stop getting bullied or if it would happen more. The victims of such actions need to understand that they can get out of that situation and also that they can sometimes do it by themselves because being bullied can mess a child up in the long run(Jacobs and McMahon np). The child can become antisocial or become very insecure about themselves, which no child deserves to go through all their lives. Not only do the people that get bullied become very distressed but also the people who witness the action happening can become very uncomfortable and stressed. This isn’t fair to the witnesses either because it can mess with their physical, mental, psychological and social well beings, along with the victim’s well being too. These problems with the victims and witnesses well beings can have a long term effect which isn’t good for either of them (Jacobs and McMahon np). Some of these situations lead to physical threats which are the one of the most common types of bullying. Also, most…

    When bullying is suspected or alleged the child who is being bullied, the one doing the bullying and their families all need to be supported in different ways. When a child or young person is being bullied they may be very upset and reluctant to tell anyone about it (i.e. out of fear of making the situation worst). That is why they should be listened to and reassured that telling someone was the right thing to do, that the incident is going to be fully investigated and the bullying will not be allowed to continue. When listening to a victim of bullying and recording the incident they should also be reassured that no action will be taken without talking to them first. For example, the child could be asked how they prefer the situation to be…

    Bullying has become an epidemic, and it needs to come to an end. If people will stand up for each other and protect each other, I believe bullying would cease to be effective. It preys on those who do not have the confidence to defend themselves. Often times, the bully hurts others as a way of protecting himself. He believes that if he attacks others, then they will not know he himself is hurting, or has been hurt in the past. It becomes a coping mechanism for him. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that bullying should not be responded to with more violence. They need to be shown love, but firm love. A love that says, “I love you enough to not let you continue down this path. Let me show you another way.” Then you are not only l protecting those that the bully hurts, but also you are protecting the bully himself in the long run.…

    In today's society it is hard for schools and adults to properly identify and deal with bullying. It is hard to ignore the fact that most bullying goes unnoticed or unreported in schools, a place where adults are constantly present. With the exposure bullying has gotten in recent years people would think that schools have sophisticated methods of dealing with bullying, however this is not the case in most schools. Throughout many schools it can be seen that not enough is done to resolve the bullying and harassment happening on a day to day bases. Many schools work very hard in hopes that one day bullying will end, but it is hard for schools to know what to classify as bullying or harassment, since most of it can start outside of school grounds…

    According to the Merriam Webster’s dictionary the term, “bullying” is defined as. “A form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. It can include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The ‘imbalance of power’ may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a ‘target‘. Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying can be defined in many different ways.” Almost every parent will have to deal with some form of bullying in their child’s lifetime. Whether their own children become the target of bullying, witness someone else being bullied or they, themselves, are in fact, considered the “school bully”. These are all important issues to consider in what to discuss to your child before they enter elementary school. What can be done to prevent bullying, dealing with aggression, proper punishment of bullies at school and the consequences of cyber bullying are all topics that should be discussed by parents with their children.…
