What is bullying? This type of abuse can have serious long-term effects on victims. Bullied people may experience anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Knowing how to deal with bullies is essential if it happens to you. Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behaviour among adults or school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. Behaviours can be physical, verbal, or emotional, ranging from mild to severe. In some serious cases, the symptoms can cause someone to take their own life.
Signs may include:
There are four types:
Cyberbullying can be especially harmful because it can happen anytime and anywhere.
One of the most common types of bullying is grooming. Grooming is when a bully singles out their victim and begins to build a relationship with them, often under the guise of friendship. This can confuse the victim, who may not understand what is happening or why they are targeted. Grooming aims to make the victim more vulnerable and more accessible to control. For example, the bully may get the victim to share personal information or engage in inappropriate behaviour. They may also try to isolate the victim from their friends and family so they can be bullied without interference.
Stalking is a type of bullying that often goes unnoticed. This is when someone follows you, sends you unwanted messages, or tries to contact you against your will. Being followed can be frightening, and knowing what to do if you’re being stalked is essential. It’s a good idea to keep a record of everything happening, including dates, times, and any contact information the stalker provides. If you are being stalked, you should ensure you are safe and immediately contact the police. In addition, you should avoid being alone and places where the stalker might find you.
Here are some points:
It can be hard to deal with when children get bullied, but there are things children can do to stay safe and get help. Children need to tell someone if they are being bullied so they can get immediate assistance. Children can also visit stopbullying.gov for more information and resources on bullying. In addition, they can find a prevention plan to help them stay safe there. If you are experiencing anxiety because of being bullied, it is essential to seek help. A therapist can provide support and guidance in managing your fear.
