2. Introduction
 Having earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from
George Fox University, Dr. Grace Graham is a member of
numerous industry organizations, including the Texas
Psychological Association and Association of Family and
Conciliation Courts. The owner of Charis Counseling and
Psychological Services, Dr. Grace Graham also works as a
clinical psychologist, where she deals with issues involving
parenting, abuse issues, and bullying, among others.
Parenting teenagers can pose a host of challenges, and
bullying is one of the most consequential. However, there are
ways parents can identify bullying to help their children and
teenagers. First, identify bullying behaviors. Whether the
bullying occurs online or in person, the behavior follows many
of the same patterns.

3. Bullying and Bullied Behavior
 Bullying goes beyond normal social conflict behavior when
the bully’s behavior shows an intent to harm or frighten the
target, when the behavior repeats, and when a power
imbalance exists--especially if the target is smaller or younger
than the bully.
The target of bullying may attempt to hide the fact that he or
she is being bullied, but there are common warning signs to
look for. Physical signs such as unexplained damage to
clothing or personal items are some of the easiest to spot.
Signs of bullying may also encompass behaviors both at
home, such as a loss of sleep or increased nightmares, and
at school, like avoiding friends or declining grades.
Cyberbullying may also create behavioral signs, including a
sudden change in technology use, especially a significant
decrease in time using computers or smartphones.
