Assisting Basic Human Needs
Bullying.
Bullying is never ok. It’s hurtful and can impact someone for a long time. Remember, you’re not alone. There are people you can talk to and do things to stop the bullying.
Childhood Bullying & Glasses
Just over 20 percent, or one out of every five students, reports being bullied.
A major reason for being the victim of bullying is physical appearance.
Wearing glasses as a child can increase the risk of being bullied. A study shows that pre-teens have a one-third greater risk of being bullied when they wear glasses or an eye patch.
Glasses are commonly perceived by young children as not attractive, and this can make someone who wears them a target for bullying.
INTERNET SAFETY FOR KIDS
Threats to children’s internet safety include invasions of privacy, cyberbullying, sexting and harassment. Options to protect your children include parental controls, apps and tracking software. But the most effective way to keep your kids safe is to talk with them about online risks, how to avoid them and how they can come to you when something goes wrong.
