Bullying

In one of the most recent surveys, around 18000 pre-adults have been seen as reporting that they have faced bullying in one way or another in their life. That is 39 percent of all people. Even though the trend is very apparent, the victims of bullying would often hide their plight because of a multitude of mental reasons. This can make the condition even worse than it already it. Under no circumstances can bullying be normalized.

Bullying defined

Bullying comes in a multitude of manners, the signs can be very apparent, like physical or verbal abuse, but often, bullying is much more subtle and emotional. These include verbal abuses, exclusion from a social group, knowingly embarrassing, racially motivated violence, damaging or stealing the victim’s belongings, etc.

Effects of Bullying

Bullying affects everyone differently, but the telltale sign is feeling scare, anxious or general, bad mental well-being.

There can be physical impacts, like scars and injuries, but there are also some other symptoms like a general feeling of unwellness, loss of appetite, etc. This can be a result of bullying.

Online bullying

Bullying is not just confined to physical spaces, bullying can also come in the form of impersonation, brigading or sharing pictures that you did not intend to be shared.

There are a lot of long-term effects of bullying too. The victims of bullying often find tough to gel with other people and have a lot of emotional trauma attached to it.

You should never tolerate bullying around it. You should take a stand and also report it wherever you can.
