7. Comes Home with Torn Clothing

Your child has been coming home with torn clothing and missing books. This has not happened just one time, it is continuously happening. Then, when you ask them what happened, they stutter a bit, then make up some type of excuse, like they ripped it while playing. If they continuously come home with ripped clothes, you need to sit down and have a talk with them.

6. Has Few Friends They Spend Time with

Most of the time, kids who are bullied do not have many friends. If your child has few friends or no friends at all, then you need to speak with them about this matter. It could just be that they only want to have a couple of friends.
