Food Allergies Lead to Increased Bullying...

Kids Teased About Food Allergies No Laughing Matter
December 28, 2012 — School bullying is a well-known problem, but one particular type is raising fresh concern. It involves children with food allergies. Students, parents and teachers may not be aware that the consequences can be fatal.

Nearly one-third of students diagnosed with food allergies are bullied at school as a result of their condition. That is according to a new study by researchers at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Results of the study, involving 251 sets of children and parents, appear in the latest online issue of the Pediatrics medical journal. Students who are teasing their allergic classmates, by doing such things as putting a peanut in their mouths, do not realize that the body's immunological reaction to the food can be life threatening. In the worst scenario, the children go into anaphylactic shock and die.

The New York researchers say as many of eight percent of children in the United States have been diagnosed with food allergies. The president of the World Allergy Organization, Dr. Ruby Pawankar in Tokyo says schools and societies, at large, need to take more seriously the threats posed by food and other allergies. “Many people trivialize it thinking of it to be something as small as a rash or even like a runny nose, not realizing that allergy is a systemic condition and it's a very dynamic disease," she said. "So a person can start with just eczema but go on to food allergies which can be fatal, can have drug allergies, can have asthma which itself can be severe. And if you look at the global prevalence it is rising.”

Dr. Pawankar, a professor at the Nippon Medical School, says that environmental and lifestyle factors are partly to blame for what she terms the allergy epidemic, which is spreading in the developing world, as well. “Then, of course, there are pollutants, preservatives and additives in foods, reduced bio-diversity which actually affects the gut microbiota,” explained Pawanker. "Those microbes that actually can build the body's immune tolerance towards diseases are lacking in the child. So the child becomes more prone towards developing allergic diseases. Also, she explains, elements in the environment are responsible for changing the functions of genes, causing an increase in allergies.

Dr. Pawankar herself is allergic to crustaceans and credits quick thinking doctors with saving her life as a teenager in her native India with a quick dose of adrenaline. Her World Allergy Organization in 2013 intends to raise awareness about the seriousness of food allergies. Its campaign for World Allergy Week (April 8 to 14) will focus on food allergies.

Parents, are you kids getting bullied? Then teach your child these 4 things:

1. Jab
2. Cross
3. Hook
4. Uppercut

The bullying will very quickly come to a halt.

I was bullied in school and I was taught how to box, which led to Olympic wrestling. weight lifting and confidence.
My kids were bullied and I sent them to kick boxing classes. Which led to no bullying.
Plus I also met with parents of bullies and let them know they had choices, stop the bully, lawyers can sue and I can kick the parents ass. nuff said.

Time for the people who are the parents of the bullies to STOP their little assholes cold

Bullying is a learned phenomenon that has to do with social pressure,” says Sheras. Some kids turn to bullying — or ally themselves with bullies — to avoid being victims themselves, he says. “It’s easier to hang out with the bully than to risk the finger being pointed at you.”

Bullies harbor an excess of anger and tend to see the world in black and white. “They feel the world has treated them unfairly; that they don’t get enough acknowledgment for what they do,” Sheras says. “They’re opinionated and judgmental.”

Bullying can surface as early as elementary school when a group of kids decide, “We don’t like Emily anymore.” The behavior, experts agree, peaks in middle school, when the peer group becomes omnipotent. “There’s a need to establish dominance and social status,” says Normand. “Some kids try to be trendsetters, telling others to wear this or listen to that kind of music. They often target kids who have less status.”



sure are alot of right wingers like this here

What to do
How can you tell if your child is a bully? Watch how your child treats other kids, experts advise. Monitor e-communications and pay attention to Facebook and other popular websites. “Notice whom your child hangs out with,” says Sheras. “Does he spend time with a tough crowd? Do other kids shy away from him?”

Let’s say your kid is one of those super-socially adept kids who have you — and the grown-ups around you — successfully seduced. Everyone (you, especially) sees this child as a charismatic leader. Then one day you get a call from school. It turns out your child has been bullying other kids. “The most important thing to do is stay calm,” says Normand. “Really listen to what the teachers are telling you, and don’t get defensive.” Then begin working with the teacher, administrators and counselors to find out what’s going on.

If the negative behavior doesn’t stop, consult a mental health professional, she advises. “You want to nip bullying in the bud.”

Other red flags to watch for? Bullies often like to dominate others, hide their behavior from adults, blame someone else for their problems and derive satisfaction from the fear or pain of others, says Normand. “They lack concern for the feelings of other people. It’s a piece of empathy they just don’t get.”
