Friendships are supposed to bring joy, comfort, and support, but sometimes they can become harmful without parents noticing. When a child is quietly being bullied by a friend, the signs are often subtle and easy to dismiss as normal friendship ups and downs.

Recognizing these warning signs is the first step toward creating healthier, more supportive relationships.
