Hi, Most children have been teased by a sibling or a friend at some point, it's not usually harmful when done in a playful, friendly, and mutual way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to stop. Helping children, If your child tells you about being teased, listen calmly and offer comfort and support. Sometimes child feel like it's their own fault, that if they looked or acted differently it wouldn't be happening. Sometimes they're scared. Remind your child that he isn't alone — a lot of people get teased at some point. Emphasize that it's the teaser who is behaving badly — not your child. Reassure your child that you will figure out what to do about it together. Let someone at school (the principal, or teacher or counseler) know about the situation. They are often in a position to monitor and take steps to prevent further problems.

Health Tips
Parents can help children learn how to deal with teasing. For some parents, it may be tempting to tell a kid to fight back. After all, you're angry that your child is suffering and maybe you were told to "stand up for yourself" when you were young. Or you may worry that your child will continue to suffer at the hands of the teaser, and think that fighting back is the only way to put a teaser in his or her place. But it's important to advise children not to respond to teasing by fighting or teasing back. It can quickly escalate into fight, trouble, and someone getting injured. Instead, it's best to walk away from the situation, hang out with others, and tell an elder (teacher, parent or guardian) Here are some other strategies to discuss with children that can help improve the situation and make them feel better: Avoid the teasing and use the buddy system. Make sure you have someone with you so that you're not alone with the someone who teases. Buddy up with a friend on the bus or transport, or wherever the teaser is. Offer to do the same for a friend. Hold the anger. It's natural to get upset,  but that's what teaser thrive on. It makes them feel more powerful. Practice not reacting by crying or looking red or upset. It takes a lot of practice, but it's a useful skill for keeping off of a teaser's radar. Sometimes kids find it useful to practice "cool down" strategies such as counting to 10, writing down their angry words, taking deep breaths, or walking away. Act brave, walk away, and ignore the teaser. Firmly and clearly tell the teaser to stop, then walk away. Practice ways to ignore the hurtful remarks, like acting uninterested. By ignoring the teaser, you're showing that you don't care. Eventually, the teaser will probably get bored with trying to bother you Tell an elder. Teachers, principals, parents, and  any personnel at school can all help stop. Talk about it. Talk to someone you trust, such as a guidance counselor, teacher, sibling, or friend. They may offer some helpful suggestions, and even if they can't fix the situation, it may help you feel a little less alone Restoring Confidence Dealing with teasing can erode a child's confidence. To help restore it, encourage your child to spend time with friends who have a positive influence. Participation in sports, or other enjoyable activities builds strength and friendships. Provide a listening ear about difficult situations, but encourage your child to also tell you about the good parts of their day, and listen equally attentively. Make sure they know you believe in them and that you'll do what you can to address any teasing that occurs. All the best
