Friends: Here are the signs you should pay attention to in your child

- Unfortunately, this is nothing new for us at Friends.

We must take these figures very seriously, it is a violation of children and young people's rights to feel safe, says Maja Frankel, Secretary General of the Friends Foundation, which works against bullying and other violations within schools and sports associations.

In the Swedish Schools Inspectorate's latest report, 8 out of 10 pupils in year nine state that they feel safe at school.

The corresponding figure in 2010 was 9 out of 10 students.

One of the obstacles to dealing with insecurity is that many children do not dare to tell.

Every fourth student in grades 6-9 who has been abused by another student has not told anyone at all, according to the Friends survey in which a total of 20,000 children participated.

- For many children, it can be feelings of shame or guilt that make them not tell, even though it is not that they have done something wrong.

Many say that they do not want to burden their parents or make them worry unnecessarily, says Maja Frankel.

In the clip, Maja Frankel goes through five signs that may indicate that your child feels insecure at school.
