BULLYING IN THE PLAYGROUND AND THE CLASSROOM Observations in schools have found that verbal and physical bullying occurs in the classroom as frequently as in the playground However the type of bullying differs across these contexts
Direct bullying occurs more frequently in the playground and
Indirect bullying occurs more frequently in the classroom
Bullying differences between boys and girls Types of bullying
Boys are most likely to experience direct physical bullying
Girls are more often the victim of indirect non-physical forms of bullying such as exclusion and having rumours spread about them
Direct verbal bullying such as cruel teasing and name calling is most common with boys and girls experiencing this about equally
Prevalence of bullying
In general girls are bullied about as often as boys
Boys report bullying others more often than girls
Who bullies whom
Bullying is most often done by one boy or a group of boys
Girls are bullied by boys about as much as they are bullied by girls
Very few boys report being bullied by girls
Hocking Primary School 50 Gungurru Avenue Hocking WA 6065
Do students tell someone if they are being bullied About half of all children who are bullied do not tell anyone Children often think that talking about a bullying situation is like lsquodobbingrsquo on one another lsquoDobbingrsquo is when a person tries to get attention or to get someone else into trouble lsquoAsking for helprsquo is when someone feels a situation is out of their control and they are unable to deal with it alone If anyone sees someone else in this situation they should also ask for help
I Think My Child is being Bullied Over the next few months we will be taking a closer look at what parents can do if they think their child is being bullied Topics will include

KIDSMATTER Children and hardship Stuff happens and life can be challenginghellip
Life is full of challenges Some families face greater challenges than others
Challenges may build up slowly or strike suddenly In the case of chronic illness they may come and go repeatedly during a childrsquos life
Sometimes these challenges get in the way of a child leading a happy healthy and successful life
Having support from family friends and school can help to protect childrenrsquos mental health and build resilience to help them cope with challenges
How parents and carers can help When children are exposed to mental health risk factors it is helpful to try to build up protective factors to support their mental health Some of the ways you can do this include
Spend time listening to your child and help her or him to feel understood and loved
Take time out to have fun when you can ndash play games go to the park watch a movie together as a family
Set up a support network with people you trust (ie family and close friends) Talk through with them how they can best support you and your children during times when you have trouble
Teach your children what to do and who to contact when they need support
Help children learn coping skills for understanding and managing feelings Have a look at our information on social and emotional learning for further ideas
Ensure your childrsquos class teacher knows about any difficulties that may impact on your childrsquos attitudes and behaviour at school
The teacher or the school may be able to provide some or all of the following
extra support from teaching staff
special programs aimed at boosting childrenrsquos coping skills
information that can help your child realise that they are not the only ones dealing with lsquofamily stuffrsquo
information about where to get further support for your child and your family

Do students tell someone if they are being bullied About half of all children who are bullied do not tell anyone Children often think that talking about a bullying situation is like lsquodobbingrsquo on one another lsquoDobbingrsquo is when a person tries to get attention or to get someone else into trouble lsquoAsking for helprsquo is when someone feels a situation is out of their control and they are unable to deal with it alone If anyone sees someone else in this situation they should also ask for help
I Think My Child is being Bullied Over the next few months we will be taking a closer look at what parents can do if they think their child is being bullied Topics will include
Possible signs of bullying
Talking with your children about being bullied
Things parents can do if they think their child is being bullied at school
Helpful parent responses
What can I tell my child to do if he or she is bullied
At school what are children learning to do if they are bullied
How can parents talk to their children about dealing with arguments
Helping your children establish a support group
How can I help my child be assertive
Possible signs of bullying All parents hope that their child will tell them as soon as there is a problem But unfortunately this doesnt always happen It may be because the child feels confused they feel it is their own fault or they are worried about how their parents will react
The following list shows common signs of bullying (Please note that many children may show these behaviours at times but it may be a sign of bullying if you see these things happening often) Decreased interest in school Reluctance to go to school absenteeism from school Poorer school performance Frequent complaints of headaches or stomach aches Wanting to be taken to and from school or to go a new route Frequent damage or loss of items such as clothing property or school work Frequent injuries such as bruises or cuts Withdrawal and a reluctance to say why Difficulty sleeping wetting the bed or having nightmares Coming home hungry Asking for extra lunch or pocket money andor money missing from the house Appearing generally unhappy miserable moody andor irritable Reluctance to eat or play properly Threats or attempts to harm self Having no friends to share free time with and Rarely invited to parties or other social activities with peers
