A few days ago I told you about some things you may not know about bullying, but today I want to talk to you about other things that are also important to know about bullying. Sometimes we adults ignore some things that we must remember so that together we can stop the scourge of bullying, since this is not just for children.
Boys and girls attack differently
When it comes to bullying, boys and girls tend to bully differently. For example, bullies tend to behave like "bad Girls" and they use relational aggression and cyberbullying to control and manipulate situations. Girls also resort to insults and intimidation of other girls.
On the other hand, children tend to be more physically aggressive and fight. They also insult and use cyberbullying, but often use aggression hitting harder than female aggressors. Furthermore, boys tend to bully both boys and girls, whereas female bullies tend to bully their female peers more. Children are also impulsive, threaten and enjoy fights.
Victims often keep quiet
Despite the emotional pain that bullying causes and the consequences it generates, many victims of bullying do not tell anyone what is happening. The reasons for shutting up may vary from person to person, but for some tweens and teens it is because are embarrassed or confused because they don't know they can get help. Also, the reason for silence is because they think they can handle the situation on their own or perhaps the anxiety they feel.
Unfortunately, many students think that if they say something at school, no one is going to help them because of other cases that may have already happened and no one did anything. It is everyone's duty that this changes from now on.
