Bullying Guide: Learning About & Dealing With BullyingWhat is bullying?Bullying is persistent unprovoked attacks against a person without provocation; it can be in many forms such as verbal, physical or mental abuse. In children it can be name calling, punches, kicks or general hate towards another child. In the workplace it is often persistent intimidating behaviour which can involve being shouted at, having verbal or written warnings handed for no particular reason, persistently being given menial tasks or excessive monitoring. Why do people bully others? Bullying is often a cover up to hide the person's own inadequacies and problems in their own life that they cannot deal with. People who bully others generally do so to: * Avoid facing up to inadequacies in their life and doing something about them. * Avoid admitting responsibility for their behaviour and the effect their behaviour has on others. * Cover up what they really are which is weak, inadequate people. * Divert attention away from themselves and their inadequacies. What makes a bully? Bullying is a form of abuse and bullies will often go to a lot of trouble to ensure that their target remains quiet about the bullying; this is often done by making further threats. It is thought that some bullies often bully due to seeing similar circumstances within the family, for instance a child could start to bully because he/she is suffering the same abuse at home or has seen a parent go through it. A bully is a person who: * Refuses to accept responsibility for their actions. * An adult who bullies and enjoys adulthood but is unwilling or unable to accept the responsibilities that comes with being an adult. * Is unable or unwilling to accept the effect their bullying has on others. * Does not know how to behave any other way. * Is unwilling to change the pattern of their behaviour. Despite how the bully may look to other people they are far from what they seem, they are not tough and full of confidence, perhaps the only time when they are is when they are bullying someone. A bully is really low on self confidence and self esteem, they are often very insecure. Bullies are often full of hate, anger and resentment of others and how others cope in the world. This could be jealousy aimed at someone who is very popular in school or the workplace; they secretly wish they were popular and bully to get attention and what they see as respect from others. What is bullying? The classification of being bullied is someone who is: * Being constantly put down by others. * Being subjected to physical or mental abuse on a daily basis. * Constantly being made fun of and the butt of jokes. * Singled out and treated differently from others on a regular basis. * The constant target of foul language or personal remarks. * Continually threatened, shouted at and humiliated in front of others. * Over loaded with work or in the case of school children made to do others' home work. * Continually have their work stolen or copied by others. * Continually receiving phone calls, text messages or e-mails of a threatening nature. * Believes they are to blame for the abuse and made to feel guilty about it.
