You are frustrated as a professional! You have given these bully victims all of your best techniques, and they are still being bullied. What should you do?

You are out of ideas! You are have given this student your best shot. You know what you should do?

Keep trying.

Tell those bully victims to return to you every time they are bullied. Tell them to keep a list of what bully says, when they say it and who says it. They can keep a chart.

Then, You should talk to bully several times. Each time consequences should become more severe for bully. Some of consequences should include discussing what harassment is and giving them county policy on consequences of harassment.

Secondly, a phone call to their parents should be made informing them that their child has been reported for bullying several times. Thirdly, you can enroll that bully and victim in The Bully Zapper mentor program.

Note on talking to parents: be sure you have ample proof and several incidents to cite to parent before calling them. I usually wait until I have an adult who has observed bullying behavior to be sure I am reporting valid information.
