Big topic! The answer starts at the top with a school's administration (principal, headmaster/mistress). Without a proactive plan coming from the top, bullying often goes unnoticed and when reported, fails to gain significant attention until physical violence occurs. Unfortunately, main children are bullied online or through verbal taunts, which leave mental scars.
A great place to begin is by asking your school principal to outline the school's bullying policy. Check this against the state's bullying legislation. A quick google of your state's name and bullying legislation should provide you with all of the information required.

Bullying seems to be a continually escalating issue within our schools. Some schools have a zero tolerance policy and some even have anti bullying programs in place. However, sometimes this is not enough. School Administrators, Teachers, Parents, and even Students, should undergo Preventative bullying training that helps to prevent and regulate bullying. Courses should cover how to handle bullying situations appropriately, identify why bullies resort to bullying, what can target a victim, retaliation of the victim, and risks involved with retaliation. It should also cover what individuals (school administrators and parents) can do to appease these situations to decrease the risk of both the bully and the victim. There is a free course you can check out that is a comprehensive preventative bullying course. This is something that may be beneficial for you to forward to the administrators at your child's school. http://www.coggno.com/onlinetraining/school-bullying-bully-awareness-for-administrators-teachers-and-parents-4

I am aware of a new program that introduces an age-appropriate vocabulary around behavioral differences and what children can say and do to deal with those differences and begin to form their own self-identity at an early age. A school district in Massachusetts has had good results with the 3rd/4th grade program called Kids Style. More information at the site attached and the parents-oriented eBook is on iTunes.

To stop bullying at school i know this may not seem like it will work but just trust me, as much as these children bully you alls you have to do is ignore them for a little bit and then ignore them when they approach you. Some children may bully because of difficulties at home, but as soon as you show that it does not bother you they will not continue that type of behavior.
