TRANSCRIPT:
The Bullying Environment From the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, I'm Nicholas Garlow with HHS HealthBeat. El acoso puede ocurrir en cualquier lugar. Puede ocurrir en persona, en línea o a sus espaldas. Pero hay algunos grupos que corren mayores riesgos. Erin Reiney is a public health specialist at HHS' Health Resources and Services Administration. "Depending on the environment though, some groups such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered youth, youth with disabilities, and socially isolated youth may be at increased risk of being bullied." Children can also be at increased risk if they are depressed or anxious, have low self esteem, or do not get along well with others. Los niños pueden ayudar a evitar el acoso escolar si conversan sobre el tema con sus padres y dejan de ser simples espectadores. Parents can support kids by setting a good example and helping kids understand bullying and how to identify it. Learn more at stopbullying.gov.
