    Dr. Michele Borba answered:
    Kids often don’t tell adults they’re bullied: you may have to voice your concerns. Ask direct questions about the situation that concerns you that may indicate bullying.
    • “You’re always hungry. Have you been eating your lunch?”
    • “Your CDs are missing? Did someone take them?”
    • “Your jacket is ripped. Did someone do that to you?”
    • “You seem to rush home to use the bathroom. Do you use the one at school?”
