Bullies enjoy it when a crowd stands and watches them bully. Normally, no body bothers to stand up to the bully, and so they keep on bullying. However, if the bystanders step in, it deflates their ego and they will usually leave the kid alone. Keep in mind that the more people step in, the more effective it will be. Also, getting responsible adults involved can help.
One more thing... if you are ever being bullied, don't let it upset you, and don't show that you are angry if you are. Those two things 'feed' the bully, and they just keep going.

The true question is why shouldn't we prevent bullying? Have you ever been bullied yourself? Bullying causes results such as depression, cutting, insecurity, and sometimes even one's suicide. it's one of those problems that even you can help make change in. If we can prevent bullying, the world would be somewhat of a better place.
Kids Help Phone is a great one. :)

Parents cannot completely protect their children from bullying, simply because they cannot be at school or on the bus with the children. You can, however, teach your children how to properly respond to bullying. You can visit with your child's school administrators or teachers and learn what steps the school takes to prevent bullying. Visit your child's classroom occasionally. Attend PTA meetings or serve on parent committees that deal with bullying.
By having COPS working in the schools to help prevent bullying and any other physical abuse to other students would do the trick =D
Various schools are taking different actions to prevent bullying. One of the things some schools are doing is to implement a workshop for staff on how to deal with bullying.

While bullying can be a common experience for many, it is not inevitable. Various factors, such as school environment, social dynamics, and individual resilience, can influence whether someone encounters bullying. Supportive communities and proactive measures can significantly reduce the occurrence of bullying and promote kindness and respect among peers. Ultimately, fostering a culture of empathy can help prevent bullying altogether.
1. Remove or expel students who express and or show passive aggressive bullying behavior. 2. Education to students about the effects of bullying and consequences. 3. Better parents!
The simplest solution is to report the bullying to the school. The school owes a duty of care towards its students and must act to stop and prevent bullying. If they fail to take action to prevent or stop the bullying they are in breach of that duty and would be liable for damages. Remember that bullying is not only physical but can also be psychological. Physical injuries heal, psychological injuries do not. Do not allow them to continue, it is probable that you are not their only victim. Take a stand. Do not ignore it. All that will result from ignoring them is the level of the violence will escalate (violence can be psychological as well as physical) until they get a response. Report them and get them dealt with.
