I need to be one step ahead to keep on top of it.<br />Tara, support for parents is so important isn't it. Parenting is extremely hard work, and there's no let up, and precious little on-going assistance.<br />Tony, yes, suicides are a tragic consequence of serial bullying for children as well as adults. Support is so important for our emotional wellbeing, and I believe reaching out and sharing in the online world is helpful too. <br />Dafeenah, The devastating effects of bullying have received media and medical attention, and in Australia at least legislation is finally catching up to hold serial bullies to account. <br />Lee, *huge sigh* that's a really tough one. Bystanders can encourage the bully by their lack of action. It takes courage and strength to stand up to the bully which isn't easy for many complex reasons. <br />Lucy, the subtlety can be viciously undermining and malicious as well as relentless. It sounds like Management needs retraining if they're hiding their collective heads in the sand.<br />Stephen, intimidation and manipulation damage lives and workplaces. Most of us just want to do our jobs and don't expect to be undermined by a serial bully. We often don't have the skills to detect and counter the bullying tactics at the moment they begin, because we expect to be working with mature human beings.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715879775216108688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-55566750127703522402011-04-22T05:04:40.745+10:002011-04-22T05:04:40.745+10:00I don't like bullying or any form of intimidat...I don't like bullying or any form of intimidation or manupulation.

And though in my case I was not the only one and it resulted in divisiveness among a faculty who up to the time when the "bully" was hired had been quite congenial, the upper administrators viewed it as nothing more than workplace drama. <br /><br />LucyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276125041686069253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-63903212306343441342011-04-22T02:34:32.933+10:002011-04-22T02:34:32.933+10:00Responsibility is shared by many.

Sometimes an outside party needs to step in and say something or take action.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-5119148622167652672011-04-22T02:17:41.774+10:002011-04-22T02:17:41.774+10:00Great message that you're sharing this month. ...Great message that you're sharing this month.
