Bystanders also play a role in bullying:
- the assistant who joins the bully
- the re-enforcer who encourages the bully by observing and laughing
- outsiders who avoid the bullying by staying away and not getting involved for fear of losing social status or being bullied as well
If you suspect your child is bullying others, it's important to seek help for him or her as soon as possible. Without intervention, bullying can lead to serious academic, social, emotional and legal difficulties. Talk to your child's pediatrician, teacher, principal, school counselor, or family physician. If the bullying continues, a comprehensive evaluation by a mental health professional should be arranged. The evaluation can help you and your child understand what is causing the bullying, and help you develop a plan to stop the destructive behavior.
