Bullying affects the majority of Canadian children, at least once, throughout their childhood. For some kids, bullying is a daily reality. The effects of bullying are immediate and long-lasting, putting our children at risk for a number of physical, social and mental health problems. As parents, these risks should not be acceptable. Adult intervention stops bullying - it is our responsibility.
