Transcription: 
If you feel your child is being bullied, whether it is at school or online, you need to talk to them. They say that 50 percent of the time, a child won't tell a parent or any adult if they are being bullied, so you need to investigate a little bit. After you find out that there is some bullying, then you need to take some type of action. I know that kids are like, "Please don't tell the principal or the teacher or the other kids because they are afraid of retaliation."
