TRANSCRIPT:
"You'll see changes in their behavior." Deborah Temkin is at the U.S. Department of Education. "Look for behavioral changes in your kids and talk to them about what's going on, because it may be either they're being bullied or they're bullying others. And sometimes they're involved in both, so we need to be very aware of any sort of change we see in our kids." Those who are bullied may have changes in eating habits, loss of interest in schoolwork, sudden loss of friends, or feelings of helplessness. Those who bully may be increasingly aggressive, blame others for their problems, or have friends who bully others.
