Bulling is such a hard traumatic thing for a child or even an adult to go through. Its amazing how well a child can hide whats going on. I remember being bullied at school, I never spoke of it and I hide it so darn well Im pretty sure my mum still doesn't know I was bullied.

DS14 went through this last year.He tried to hide it but I could pick up on it as he would be....quieter than normal. I had to ask a few times before he would tell me and I had to make sure he knew he was safe to tell me. I often wonder what it is that makes some children bully others. We had one child at child who was bullied quite badly by the 'popular' group that they would then go and bully other kids that were an easy target to them. And I always wondered why they did that as they knew how it felt as they were being bullied too :S
