The main goal of this bullying
blog series has been to educate and empower parents, students and school staff about
bullying and cyberbullying. The series provided a variety of posts ranging from
prevention tools to intervention techniques with the goal of educating parents,
victims, bystanders and school staff to become empowered to take action.
The series included specific
information such as definitions, types, signs, who bullies and why, who they
target, how and why adults need to intervene and more. We have tried to explain
how bullying is hurting so many children today and what adults need to know to
act appropriately in response.
However, there is only so
much information that can be presented in a blog over 5 weeks. Thus, to
continue educating and empowering our readers, we thought it was appropriate to
provide you with additional resources.
There are literally
thousands of bullying websites and programs available, however we chose to
present only a handful of the best-known and most educational sites that provide
superb material, videos and even activities for parents, children and educators.
Here are some of the best, and best-known, bullying
websites and resources:
The official government bullying
website with general information, research and policy information, as well as videos
and a help section.
PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center unites, engages and
educates communities to address and prevent bullying through creative, relevant
