By Diana Kohnle

The Stopbullying.gov website offers this list of signs:
- Injuries that can't be explained.
- Jewelry, electronics, clothes or books that are destroyed or lost.
- Sudden changes in eating habits, such as coming home hungry from school.
- Complaining of illness or aches and pains, or faking illness.
- Nightmares or difficulty sleeping.
- Avoiding school or social situations, losing interest in school, losing friends or having declining grades.
- Feeling helpless or suddenly having low self esteem.
- Exhibiting self-destructive behaviors, such as running away from home, talking about suicide or causing self harm.
