Kids Health
Vetted by medical authority, this article details bullying on an
enormous Kids Health Website maintained by the prestigious
Nemours Foundation. Behavioral issues are only a small part of
the health information available. As with many sites,
“relational aggression” does not surface when put in the search
box for kids or teens, but the bullying article appears at the
parent level search.

US Department of
Health and Human Services
The richest source of excellent articles, video PSAs, model
programs, links to child/teen friendly and adult resources is
the federal government. Directed to parents, caregivers,
educators, social workers, community agencies and even law
enforcement, help comes from US Department of Health and Human
Services under its Health Resources and Services Administration
and Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration.

The Wounded Child
Project
A very simple, single-focused site, The Wounded Child Project,
collects the true-life stories visitors have to tell via e-mail
about bullying in their own lives. Established by Brenda High,
the mother of Jared High, lost to what she calls, “Bullycide” in
September 1998 as a action-memorial to her son. Students,
parents and survivors of bullying tell their stories so that
others may learn of the emotional, psychological, mental and
physical abuse they have suffered at the hands (and minds) of a
bully. Excerpts are published on the site. Selections deal
mostly with male children.
