Social bullying effects

Social bullying can have terrible consequences on the bullied kids. They often have to choose between being bullied or becoming a bad kid. To get their social statue up, kids are most of  the time willing to do anything. First of all, they will probably totally change their attitude to be like all the others, more popular kids. To do so, they need to stop focusing on studying and their grades can drop from good to horrible. When the kid getting bullied is finally accepted in the group of kid that rejected him, he often stops hanging out with his real friends and starts social bullying them. That's how you can see a kid becoming bad, even though he used to be a really good kid. All of this because of social bullying.

Social bullying.. more often seen among teenage girls!?

Social bullying is incredibly common. Especially among teenage girls. This sort of bullying is just as damaging as physical violence. Social bullying usually takes place withing groups. For example, if someone doesn't like a particular person, that someone can turn an entire group against that person. Sometimes, bystanders don't realise that by supporting the ''leader'', they are just as guilty. It is important to know that in such cases, the excuse: ''kids will be kids'', does not apply. Rejecting isn't the only issue. To young girls, shunning, whispering and mean looks are also a way to gain social power. In other words, popularity. Adults don't always see this happening. It is extremely important to speak up if you're being bullied.
REMEMBER: It's nice to be important,
                      but its more important to be nice!

Advice and solutions


                  Advice and solutions

When bullying occurs there are always solutions and advice.  You should tell your parents so that they are aware of the current situation.  Bullies usually target the people who seem weak.  When a kid gets bullied he or she usually starts a habit of looking at the floor.  This helps the bully to perceive you as weak. 

        The solutions:
     -   Don’t look at the floor.
-       You should try to avoid the bully. 
-       You should always be with a friend.   Bullies don’t usually attack two people at the same time.
-        Bullies thrive on anger.  If you show him that you’re upset, he will know that he is getting to you.  The best thing to do is to ignore the comments and keep a “poker face”.
-        Don’t bring things the bully would want. It will encourage him to keep intimidating you.
-        If all fails, you may use a mild insult.  Bullies usually have a low self-esteem and don’t expect to be insulted by someone.  Insults cause the bully to feel self-conscious.  But it allows the bullied person or victim to appear strong and not affected by the bully.  Thus the bullying eventually stops.
