Abstract:
Youth who are bullied need clear messages of support from adults. Although we want children and youth to be strong and assertive so that they can stand up to kids who bully, adults must realize that many aren't ready to do this. Adults play critical roles in helping students who are bullied and creating a healthy, safe climate in your school and community.

Although these tips are directed at school personel, they also apply to other adults who interact with youth (e.g. coaches, youth group leaders, ministers or neighbors).
