When your child comes home with blood or a rip on his shirt. He fell down is usually the answer you get when asked what happened. Still there is the lingering thought and wonder if your child is dealing with schoolyard bullies.

Usually a schoolyard bully is a child, often bigger than their peers, who uses their size as a means to manipulate and take advantage of other children. Often the bully senses the vulnerability of other students and capitalizes on those feelings. They try to gain control of other children by use of intimidation and sometimes violence.
