My Child Is a Victim of Bullying

Bullying happens more frequently than you might think. It's a serious issue that needs to be addressed. The Bible commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:31) and to treat others the way we would like to be treated (Luke 6:31). There is no room in the Christian faith for belittling or abusing someone. Every person, regardless of what he or she looks or acts like, is treated in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Bullying is wrong. As Christians, we are called to act in love and kindness toward everyone, including those who wrong us. We should do good in the face of being mistreated, and when we see others being mistreated. We shouldn't try to handle these situations alone, we should involve authorities, our family, friends, and the Church. Bullying is WRONG so let's stop bullying and love each other.
