Practical tools to help you listen, document, report, and advocate for your child.

Bullying doesn’t always look physical.

Depending on the situation and your school’s policy, concerns may involve rumors or lies, public humiliation, deliberate exclusion, intimidation, harassment, cyberbullying, retaliation, or repeated social behavior that harms or isolates a child.

Before assuming something is “just drama,” learn what your school’s policy actually says and how concerns should be reported.

WHAT’S INSIDE THE GUIDE

A simple, practical resource to help you:

• Find your school or district’s actual bullying policy
• Understand what the policy says about bullying, harassment, rumors, exclusion, cyberbullying, and retaliation
• Find the correct reporting form or procedure
• Document dates, incidents, witnesses, screenshots, and previous reports
• Organize the facts before contacting the school
• Keep a written record of reports and responses
• Identify what follow-up or safety steps you are requesting

You don’t have to know every answer before you speak up. Start with the facts, document what happened, and learn the process available to your child.
