Bullying is a serious matter. If your child gets bullied and doesn&#39;t get help to cope with such harassment, they can suffer from irreparable psychological damage, according to experts. And it&#39;s not that your child can only get bullied in school; cyberbullying is being considered a worrying trend these days. For instance, an Intel Security report titled &#39;Teens, Tweens and Technology Study 2015&#39; shows 22 per cent of Indian children who are active social media users have reported being bullied online. So how do you read the signs, if your child isn&#39;t really open about the issue?Unwillingness to go to school It can start with silly pretexts and then it can escalate into outright refusal. Come Monday, and your child starts getting edgy and refuses to budge from their room. And, in all probability, your child refuses to tell you the real reason why they don&#39;t want to go to school.Anxiety attacks Your child might seem anxious or tense for no apparent reason. In fact, anxiety attacks seem to have developed only recently. They might also seem to be lacking confidence.Avoidance of devices This can be a red flag. Watch if your child recoils from logging on to computers or even smartphones. In fact, they have simply stopped interacting with friends online.Emotional outburstsAnd these are becoming quite frequent these days. You can find your child crying in a corner. In fact, the very mention of school or playgrounds can elicit highly emotional responses.Avoidance of certain friendsAs a parent, you&#39;d know whom your kid would love to hang out with. But check if your child has, of late, been avoiding a particular friend or a group of peers. If yes, there can be issues.
