Bullying Facts | What Is Bullying?
Bullying can come in many forms. There is physical abuse, there is seclusion, verbal and mental abuse just to name a few. There is a cruelty in bullying that puts it in the same league as torture. We have international laws against torture, but we have very few legal avenues against bullies. Often it can be hard for children to prove to adults that the bullying is happening. Often adults have false perceptions about bullying such as bullying does not cause any serious harm, that bullying is a normal part of growing up or that bullies will eventually mature and stop the circle of abuse themselves.
In fact we know that bullied children experience physical problems such as stomach aches and headaches. They are frequently depressed, stay away from school have a higher incidence of suicidal thoughts or actions. Overall the bullied child has a lower quality of life and far less of a chance to succeed in their chosen career or life path.
Article after article, expert after expert all say the same thing: self-confidence is the key to stopping bullying. Regardless of the reason someone becomes a bully the target is usually the same. Children who lack confidence are often the target of bullies and likewise confident children are less likely to be bullied. Confidence Is the key to stopping bullying.
