The best way to handle this situation is to talk to your child and make sure that they are safe. Talk to the school and make sure they understand the problem. Be supportive of your child, help them work through their emotions, and emphasize that the bullying behavior is unacceptable. Encourage your child to reach out if they feel uncomfortable or afraid, provide guidance on how they should respond if encountered with a bully, suggest options that can be taken when facing a bully, such as telling an adult or walking away from the situation. Most importantly ensure your child knows it’s not their fault and remind them you will do anything necessary for them feel safe at school.

The best way to handle this situation is to make sure your child knows that they are not alone, and that it's OK to talk about what they are going through. Encouraging open communication between you and your child is the first step in helping them cope with the bullying. Reassure your child that they did not do anything to deserve the bullying and remind them that there are many people who have their back, including you. If necessary, involve authorities at school like teachers and administrators as well as talking to a professional therapist who could offer further assistance.
