Let's Eliminate Bullying at Education.com

Education.com a large free on-line educational resource has taken a bold step toward dealing with the age old problem of bullying. Bullying has gotten more and more attention in the last few years. Though it is hard to measure whether it is a growing problem, it is a changing problem with bullies using new technologies to reach their victim, ie. text messaging, social networking, email.


Education.com addresses both cyber bullying and school bullying on their site. At http://www.education.com/topic/school-bullying-teasing/ you will find an enormous variety of links to free resources to help parents, educators and children deal with bullying; such as "Five Actions Parents Can Take if Their Child has been Involved in Bullying," and "How do you Know When Your Student or Child is Being Victimized and How Can You Help."

Education.com's goal is not only to assist parents, teachers and students in recognizing and dealing with bullying. Like most of us they want to eliminate bullying and are dedicating a very well designed and easily navigable section of their website to that goal with information like "Ten Actions Parents can take to Eliminate Bullying," and "Helping School Staff Identify and Understand the Effects of Bullying," and their on site, "Quick Guide to Reducing Bullying." Their information is well researched and comes from respected educators and behavior specialist.
