Bullying Prevention for Parents of Middle School Students
According to King Philip Middle School results of the 2021 MetroWest Adolescent Health Survey,
- 28.7% of grade 7 and 8 students reported being the victim of bullying (in the past 12 months);
- 22.8% of students reported that they were the victim of bullying on school property (in the past 12 months); and
- 21.5% of students reported that they have been the victim of cyberbullying (in the past 12 months).
Unfortunately, the middle school years are the time when students can experience bullying the most. King Philip Middle School results are in line with the results of the MetroWest Region Middle School for 2021. [2021 MWAHS Regional results: bullying victim - 28.9%, bullying victim on school property - 23.9%, cyberbullying victim - 22.6%, all in the past 12 months prior to the survey being taken. The 2021 Middle School MWAHS was administered to a census of students in 7th and 8th grades in 32 middle schools in the region, with 11,975 students completing the survey.] From MetroWest Adolescent Health Survey Regional Highlights Report: 2021 MetroWest Region Middle School Youth
According to stopbullying.gov, bullying is more frequently reported during the middle school years, with reports dropping during the high school years. In order to help prevent bullying it is important to know warning signs to look for, how our school addresses bullying, and how to handle the situation if your child either experiences or contributes to bullying.
Stopbullying.gov has a number of prevention resources specific for parents of middle school students. The page contains warning signs and prevention tips for both bullying and cyberbullying.

The King Philip Regional School District has a prevention and intervention plan and an anonymous incident reporting form for students and parents/guardians to use. Both the plan and the incident reporting form are located on the district page under "Our District" -->"Bullying Prevention & Intervention". If you feel that your child is either experiencing bullying or is possibly contributing to bullying, please contact the school, either directly or by using the online reporting form.
