CEBU CITY, March 14 (PIA) -- Parents are told to be on watch for “bullying” trends among children.

Whether it is cyber or physical bullying, the Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA) Cebu Chapter calls on parents to be on alert for signs of children being bullied or bullies themselves. 

PMHA officials and the academe were the recent guests of this week’s Kapihan sa PIA Cebu discussing about “Cyber Bullying.” 

Dr. Glenda Basubas, chairman of PMHA-Cebu, said that cases of bullying are piling up in their clinics and the numbers may be much higher since victims don’t usually share their problems. (mbcn/FCCPIA7)
