Web TV Show Two: Your Teen and Bullying

Being a teenager is tough enough without bullying being involved; but when it is, things can get a whole lot harder. Teenagers naturally want to become more independent from their parents – so their friends take on a more important role in their lives. Sometimes their wish to fit in, can lead them to do things they know they shouldn't - like becoming involved in bullying others or not speaking out when they see someone else doing it. Or perhaps they become the target – just at the time their self-esteem is lowest, or when they are experimenting with their clothes or appearance – comments or ridicule from others can make them unhappy or withdrawn.

As a parent, it can be challenging to communicate with your kids as they grow up. When you think they might be dealing with bullying, it can be even harder to know where to start. As part of Anti-bullying Week, which runs from 17th to 21st November, agony aunt, journalist and parenting expert Suzie Hayman joined us live online to discuss how you can support your teenager as well as cope with your own emotions if bullying becomes part of your lives. Suzie focuses on a variety of topics such as why bullying happens, signs to look out for and what you can do to support your teenager through this difficult time.
