How does bullying affect kids all around the world?
(Pictures include caption for read aloud.)
Bullying can affect kids in many ways including, physical injuries
problems in the social life, problems that will affect kids emotionally
maybe for the rest of their lives and bullying can also make kids become
depressed and eventually maybe even commit suicide. Which is not good for
anyone that is involved. The younger the age that bully process begins the worse the
the behavioral problems will become and longer it is going to affect them and others and
whether you're the bully or the target. If you are that one kid that is both
the bully and the target these mental and physical problems could affect
you more than normally. They usually end up with bad cases of mental and
behavioral problems rather than those who are one or the other. Youth (
kids the age normally around 3-16 ) that are normally being cyber bullied
on a computer or cellphone are bullied on specific apps or games and have
a higher risk of depression than the other kids that are bullying them.
Research found that people being bullied electronically also known as
being cyber bullied have a higher chance of depression than the kids being
physically bullied in front of them. Kids like you and me have a better
potential finding something out when it is on the internet. whether is on
a app like Instagram, Snapchat or Tik Tok anyone who really takes the time
to look on a app for information will find it and spread the news father
than intended. Being bullied interferes with school, grades, and success.
Parents should be invited to encouraged their children to tell them if
they are victims of any type of bullying that includes: Cyber bullying,
verbal bullying and many other types of bullying. We need bullying to stop so we can have less kids affected by bullying
and so that kids can have a happy and normal life.
5 suprising facts I bet you didn't know about bullying...
Around 160,000 kids around the world (usually teens) are so affected by
bullies that they have skipped classes entirely.
Kids that are bullied in school and have even reported the bully cases
have (usually) lower grades in almost every epidemic class for EX: Math,
ELA, Science and Social Studies.
Even though only 25% of bullying is cyberbullying it affects kids more
than any other kind of bullying.
57% percent of bullying stops when a guardian interferes with the
problem.
As kids get older they are less likely to report bullying. Which not
telling anyone could soon make the situation a lot harder for both the
kid who is either being bullied or is the bully and the parents involved
to. Also kids who don't say anything to anyone about they problems may
become depressed or just straight up comit suicide.
What to do if you see someone else being bullied?
Have you ever been the bystander in a tough situation and you don't wanna be apart of it
but you also don't wanna see someone get hurt or get yourself involved and risk
yourself being hurt? Well what can you do? Read this short bit of information and find out
for yourself. (read below)
Stop the bullying
Have a talk with the person that is currently being bullied, ask them questions about what happens if they are up for a talk to just let some emotions
come out and have someone else know. Ask them how you could help them, if you can't help
just relax and ask if they wanna hang out between classes. Sometimes socialization with
the person who doesn't get it other than being bullied helps. This way he/she knows there are people who care.
Another thing that could help the person being bullied is just to have someone
that will listen to them while they talk about how they feel and talk about what happened.
Remember the person talking about their feeling about the bullying may feel shy and timid
at first and may not wanna talk. But don't be pushy on them and try and encourage them to talk
about something that they don't wanna. Just be there if they do.
Stand up as one big team and confront the bully.It is always better to confront the bully as a group.
It is safer that way at least. A couple kids should be up toward the front talking to the bully
and 1-2 kids should be in the back ready to tell a teacher or call a helpline if something starts going wrong.
Why do people get bullied and how to deal with it.
People can be bullied for many reasons and it may not even be the target's fault.
Bullies usually just bully other people because they are hurting inside.
Maybe they are struggling to put food on their table or maybe they don't have enough
money for a house. Or maybe they don't have enough to get by. Put when you are
being bullied these are things to think about. It is still not okay to bully but usually
it is not against the target. People are always stressing about something.
It is normal to be stressed out but it is still not ok to bully.
Another reason that you could be bullied is because you don't like the same things as
someone else. But that is ok. I may like something that someone else doesn't,...
but that still doesn't give me the right to bully anyone. Another reason that people might get bullied is because they have fewer or no friends at all. Even if you don't have a big amount of friends does not mean anything it usually means that people are jealous that they think they have friends but don't really have any at all. People get worshipped because they are "popular" or "cool" but they really don't have any true friends. I just wanna say that
all the targets out there should not worry too much about being bullied. It is usually not
your fault. There are many ways to deal with the stress of being bullied. Here is a list of things you can do.
-
You can always ask a teacher or parent guardian to have a talk with the bullies parents or the bully themself.
Ask the teacher or guardian questions about if they know why they are bullying others.
-
If you or someone else is being bullied it is ALWAYS better to have someone
else there with you just to make you feel more comfortable and safe knowing that someone
is there just in case something doesn't go well.
-
Listen without judging...the person that you are talking to may be a little sensitive talking about what
is happening at school or at home. Wherever the bullying is taking place.
But for that one person you are talking to has someone who will just listen without
trying to force them to talk about a topic that makes them sensitive, really helps.
-
Let the person who is sharing their thoughts with you know that you really care. Invite them to after school activities with other friends or just a hangout with you yourself.
The reason for just inviting the person that is sharing their thoughts with you may need to be just
around one person at a time is because, bullies spread rumors that are untrue about people who
did nothing wrong. Maybe one of your friends heard a rumor that he/she did something wrong and now your friends
are making fun of him/her. So take it slowely but let he/she know that you care.
