Warning Signs for Bullying
Warning Signs for Bullying
There are many warning signs that may indicate that someone is affected by bullying—either being bullied or bullying others. Recognizing the warning signs is an important first step in taking action against bullying. Not all children who are bullied or are bullying others ask for help.
It is important to talk with children who show signs of being bullied or bullying others. These warning signs can also point to other issues or problems, such as depression or substance abuse. Talking to the child can help identify the root of the problem.
Signs a Child Is Being Bullied
Signs a Child Is Being Bullied
Look for changes in the child. However, be aware that not all children who are bullied exhibit warning signs.
Some signs that may point to a bullying problem are:
Unexplainable injuries
Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry
Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness
Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. Kids may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.
Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school
Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations
Feelings of helplessness or decreased self esteem
Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about suicide
If you know someone in serious distress or danger, don’t ignore the problem. Get help right away.
Signs a Child is Bullying Others
Signs a Child is Bullying Others
Kids may be bullying others if they:
Get into physical or verbal fights
Have friends who bully others
Are increasingly aggressive
Get sent to the principal’s office or to detention frequently
Have unexplained extra money or new belongings
Blame others for their problems
Don’t accept responsibility for their actions
Are competitive and worry about their reputation or popularity
Why don't kids ask for help?
Why don't kids ask for help?
Statistics from the 2012 Indicators of School Crime and Safety - PDF show that an adult was notified in less than half (40%) of bullying incidents. Kids don’t tell adults for many reasons:
Bullying can make a child feel helpless. Kids may want to handle it on their own to feel in control again. They may fear being seen as weak or a tattletale.
Kids may fear backlash from the kid who bullied them.
Bullying can be a humiliating experience. Kids may not want adults to know what is being said about them, whether true or false. They may also fear that adults will judge them or punish them for being weak.
Kids who are bullied may already feel socially isolated. They may feel like no one cares or could understand.
Kids may fear being rejected by their peers. Friends can help protect kids from bullying, and kids can fear losing this support.

A YouTube channel for teens, by teens.
UPMC Children’s Community Pediatrics has developed a YouTube channel of resources which tackle a wide variety of teen-focused topics. From bullying to puberty, social media safety and more, we’re discussing tough topics that parents might not always be comfortable handling themselves.
With the help of 26 teen ambassadors from over 20 school districts in western Pa., along with some of our trusted pediatric providers, we’re helping teens and their parents make difficult subjects easier to talk about. And aside from the difficult, we also have a lot of fun, too, with light-hearted videos you’ll just have to see for yourself.
Now, more than ever, is the right time to turn to enriching resources. Help us connect with students and parents in your community by spreading the word about these helpful resources via email, social media, or your preferred method to connect digitally.

Pennsylvania Statewide Support & Referral Helpline for COVID-19
Pennsylvania Statewide Support & Referral Helpline for COVID-19
The Department of Human Services (DHS) today announced the launch of a statewide Support & Referral Helpline, staffed by skilled and compassionate staff who will be available 24/7 to assist Pennsylvanians struggling with anxiety and other challenging emotions due to the COVID-19 emergency, and refer them to community-based resources that can further help to meet individual needs.
The toll-free, round-the-clock support line is officially operational. The number to call is 855-284-2494. For TTY, dial 724-631-5600.
To create and staff the support line, DHS has partnered with the Center for Community Resources (CCR), an experienced regional crisis and call center provider based in Butler County and licensed to provide crisis services.
CCR staff are trained to be accessible, culturally competent, and skilled at assisting individuals with mental illness, intellectual disabilities, co-occurring disorders, and other special needs. Staff use the principles of trauma-informed care to listen, assess needs, triage calls, and provide appropriate referral to community resources to children, teens, adults, and special populations.
CCR will collaborate with individuals, families, police, emergency medical teams, hospitals, schools, and human service providers on the local level to provide quality care to their community members.
Many other resources also remain available to Pennsylvanians in need of support, including:
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-TALK (8255)
Nacional de Prevención del Suicidio: 888-628-9454
Crisis Text Line: Text “PA” to 741-741
Veteran Crisis Line: 800-273-TALK (8255)
Disaster Distress Helpline: 800-985-5990
Get Help Now Hotline (for substance use disorders): 800-662-4357
Pennsylvania Sexual Assault Helpline: 888-772-7227
National Domestic Violence Helpline: 800-799-7233
Visit the PA Department of Health’s dedicated Coronavirus web page for the most up-to-date information regarding COVID-19.
Additional resources for citizens and DHS providers related to COVID-19 are available here.

With Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy, your child will:
get a personalized plan tailored to their strengths and weaknesses based on their previous PSAT/NMSQT® or SAT results or our diagnostics;

take up to eight official full-length practice tests online or on paper;
receive instant feedback and adaptive recommendations for what to practice;
set a personalized practice schedule to get reminders for when to practice; and

Check out our overview of Official SAT Practice video to get a sense of the student experience.
Your child's practice schedule
Your child's practice schedule
When your child signs up for Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy, we'll prompt them to create a regular weekly practice schedule that works for them.
Our research has shown that students who study daily (e.g. 5 days a week) for short periods of time (15-30 minutes) are able to build a more successful habit of practicing for the SAT.
Encourage your child to create a practice schedule that works for them and then stick to it.
Official SAT Practice Test Day
Official SAT Practice Test Day
The Saturday two weeks before your child's SAT is Official SAT Practice Test Day.
On this day, students set aside time to take a full practice test in the morning to simulate what their real test day will be like. Encourage your child to set aside this time and take a full practice test.
How can I track my child’s progress on Official SAT Practice?
How can I track my child’s progress on Official SAT Practice?
We do not have a specialized way for parents to track their child's progress on Official SAT Practice.
You can ask your child to log into their account and show you their progress directly.
You can also view your child's progress by using the tools we make available to teachers. To do so, visit your Coach dashboard, create an SAT class, and add your child. By looking at the "SAT" tab for that class, you can then follow along with their practice and access related helpful content in the same way a teacher can.
For more information on how to create an SAT class, check out our overviewon the new coach resources for Official SAT Practice.
