There are so many types of ways that a bully can hurt someone. here are a few of them that I was able to read about and find different ways that it happens in the world today. A bully is not just a kid a bully can be an adult as well. Disrespect in schools is a significant distraction to learning – especially for the 160,000 students who skip school every day because they fear being bullied. Kids lack a sense of personal responsibility and don’t understand the consequences of their actions, which has a negative impact on school climate.There is a high turnover rate among-st teachers, with one third of all new teachers leaving the profession within five years. That is just in schools. The Vintage Pearl Boutique stands against bullying. We want to help create and inspire connection and communities. In community, we hold one another accountable for behaviors and we stand up for one another. When we are connected and feel a sense of belonging, we treat people better. We treat ourselves better. Our job as a society is to to teach students about respect and make sure that all students know that they matter and so do others.
There are many effect when someone is being bullied and or being the bully. When people think about bullying many imagine something like this: one child yelling at another to give up their lunch money. But the reality of bullying is very different and unfortunately much more severe. Did you know that over 70% of students report that bullying is a problem at their school? And that about one out of ten middle school kids drop out of or change schools due to bullying?
Broadly speaking bullying can be defined as unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves some kind of power imbalance. Bullying isn’t limited to physical abuse – verbal, emotional, and cyberbullying are also common in many schools. Although bullying is commonly associated with kids and adolescents it also impacts adults.
Helping a child through a bullying situation can be complicated and often requires collaboration between parents, kids, teachers, and school counselors. If you are concerned that your child is being bullied it is especially important to ask your child how their day at school went. Because some children feel embarrassed about being bullied, asking about this topic directly may not help you find an answer.
Bullying can contribute to students feeling socially isolated, worthless or depressed. In addition, the psychological effects of bullying can last well into adulthood and increase a person’s chance of experiencing things like anxiety disorders. Contacting a psychologist may be a good way to help your child overcome their bullying situation. Together, you and your psychologist can identify healthy strategies to improve the overall quality of your child’s functioning at school.
