How do you approach bullying with your child?
Im so fed up with lazy parenting, parents taking the easy way out when it comes to disciplining there children, expecially when it comes to bullying!!
On a daily basis I see my 13 year old sister being bullied over facebook and im fed up! Im putting full blame on the parents (sorry if you disagree) but they are the ones who raised those children to be the young adults they are today, they are the reason they are the way they are. And when approached about there child bulling they srugg it off and not disipline there child because they couldn't possibly do anything wrong!
No! How about stop worrying about being your child's friend and be there parent. Teach them that bullying gets them noware and has consequences.
How many kids need to loose there lives before people understand?
Imagine that being your sister, your daughter your son your best friend! Imagine the pain and hurt you would feel loosing them because they can't deal with being bullied any longer.
Im not sitting back and watching my sister be another statistic because little 13 year olds think that there words and actions don't affect people. Bullying affects a lot more people than just the person your bullying. So please sit down and talk to your children and teach them bullying is never ok! No matter the sistuation no matter what the other person has done.
Sorry for the long post ladies I just needed a vent!

It might be an idea to take your sister to head space hun.
And teach her how to use the block feature.
This is 100% why my children will not have a single social media account through highschool. They just don't need it. I'd be telling your Mum to give her breather and deactivate her account immediately.
We've caught my 9yr old step-son being a total jerk online to friends and cousins, swearing, calling them names, trying to intimidate them or being passive aggressive when games don't go his way. We pulled him up on it and his dad has had many talks with him and he loses his computer privilege, but we can only do that when he's here. Good for you for calling it out and encouraging all parents to take responsibility and treat tech as a privilege, not a right. It's very important for parents to know what their kids are doing online. Not just social media but other places kids hang out, like game servers and Skype.
