Transcription: 
One of the important issues around bullying is the definition of bullying. Bullying means, it happens every time. Most parents call bullying what our parents would have called teasing. One in three children will be bullied every year. From First to Twelfth Grade, you can expect that about three years in grade school, your child will be the object of bullying.

Only 3 out of 20 kids are typically a bully or typically a victim. To figure out whether your child is a bully, remember first; what's the definition? Do I see this happening every time I watch my children with others? Is my child always the victim when they are with other children?
