Did you know that 24
percent of female students and 19 percent of male students report being bullied
at school? Talking with your child about bullying is an important step to
understanding whether bullying is affecting him or her. Research shows that
parents and caregivers who spend at least 15 minutes a day talking with their
child can build the foundation for a strong relationship and help prevent
bullying. SAMHSA developed the free KnowBullying
mobile app to help facilitate meaningful conversations about bullying
anytime, anywhere.
