Facing bullying

How should bullying be handled in our Lutheran schools?

There is no place for bullying in our schools or in society. Those who are guilty of such behavior in our schools need to be called to repentance. Speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) means having difficult conversations with people who may be guilty of bullying and who are responsible for making our schools safe for students. I encourage you to have these conversations.

Beyond this reminder, I can point you to some resources on the topic of bullying. This link will take you to an article that addresses bullying from the perspective of a teenager. This link provides you with information on bullying from the perspective of a Christian parent and a Christian counselor. The counselor is with Christian Family Solutions, an agency within WELS, and is available for making presentations to schools on the subject of bullying.
