What Is Bullying !!!
Bullying is when someone does or says something to hurt someone else. It is always on purpose. Individuals can bully others, but so can groups. Either way, bullying is about making someone feel small and powerless. No one asks to be bullied, and no one deserves it. A bully most often needs an audience.
Bullying is a form of aggression that unfolds within a relationship. The person who bullies uses aggression and control to maintain a position of power over the victim. When bullying evolves over time, the power dynamics and inequality in the relationship becomes stronger. The victimized person gets caught in an abusive relationship, often without seeing what’s happening until it’s too late.This problem can also happen between groups of young people. Bullying is cruel, hurtful behavior that is not based on discrimination. Bullying and harassment are methods of misusing power to degrade, humiliate and hurt someone.
Harassment is a non-physical form of bullying that usually is stemmed from ethnicity, religion, age, sex, family status, disability and sexual orientation. In schools, bullying/harassment occurs in almost any area in and around the school building, though it more often occurs at recess, PE, in hallways or bathrooms, on the busor waiting for a school bus, as well as classes that require group work or after school activities.
Bullies sometimes work in groups. They will often taunt and tease a “victim” or “target by isolating them over a period of time before it becomes physical. They gain the loyalty and silence of bystanders over time because these bystanders are afraid to become the next victim. Targets of bullying in school are often students who are more introverted or less popular.
