Don't just react to bullying. Ask your school if it has a bully-proofing program and curriculum in place, like Grey's Guide To Bullying. Ask the teacher in the grade your child is about to enter if there is a plan to prevent and deal with bullying, both with bullies, the bullied, and bystanders. It takes about 2 years for a plan to be chosen, and implemented. Talk to the teachers and principal of the school and grade that your child will be in 2 years from now. Provide ideas for a suggested bullyproofing curriculum to the school. I bought a sample curriculum for my son's school and met with the school staff two years ahead of my son's grade level to give it to them. They didn't always use the one I had selected, but they did implement a school-wide program by the time he entered that grade. Bully-proofing needs to be school wide, including staff, teachers, principals, aides, playground monitors, janitors, students, and even parents, to make them aware of the new program. If you have a vulnerable child, one who might have been bullied in the past, this needs to be done. You can't put all the pressure onto the victim to act or look differently, or on one single teacher. By the way, this worked. And my son is now a happy, functioning adult.
How bout reverse that action and focus on the bully. What to do when your kid is being bullied?... You prosecute the bully as a child breaking a law. Bullies need help finding what's making them target and torture things. Maybe counseling too. Harassment is a crime

Exactly it's hard to stop bullying cause many adults love to bully themselves to varying degrees and don't even want to admit it
