| I worry about bullying and have asked my child several times is she/he being bullied when they have been withdrawn or behaving differently. Apart from physical signs how can you really identify phycological forms such as text bullying. Have you got any suggestions or experiences?

It's very troubling to feel your child is being bullied and to be unable to recognise the first signs in their behaviour as all children will react differently. Kidscape, the first charity set up to prevent bullying after 21 years of research and innovation, offers support and information for parents and children. Kidscape can be contacted either by logging onto their website, www.kidscape.org.uk or by phoning the Kidscape helpline 08451 205204.

| I actually found out my daughter was being bullied when a teacher brought her out to me after school and told me a boy had punched her in the face, an attack which he actually witnessed. It turned out that the boy had been picking on her for some time and he had even pushed her down some stairs (luckily for her she landed on her feet) on a previous occasion. Before that I had no idea that she was being bullied. Her behaviour at home had been no different as far as I can recall. The only clue I had (it's always easier to see with hindsight) was that she was reluctant to get up for school and I had to coax her to get dressed and ready most mornings (which in itself is pretty normal for a teenager anyway). She also began wearing make up, including thick black eyeliner, which she took ages to apply each morning (a delaying tactic?). I did think she may have been trying to hide herself away. Although I did notice she was no longer using thick eyeliner, it is just this second that I have realised that since she left school she doesn't feel the need to hide behind her makeup any more. Teenagers are full of secrets and hiding something like bullying from a parent is probably quite easy for them if they don't want their parents to know.
