6 strategies for teens facing the New Normal

Some teens are facing bullying and abuse at school due to coronavirus.

Activating bystanders is the best way to address any kind of bullying. Kids and teenagers who are targeted should not be expected to confront bullies; rather we should encourage them to turn to friends or adults for help and support.

If you witness a friend being bullied, reach out to them and try to offer support. Doing nothing can leave the person feeling that everyone is against them or that nobody cares. Your words can make a difference.

And remember:

Now more than ever we need to be thoughtful about what we share or say that may hurt others.
