Teen bullying

I was recently interviewed on my new bullying project and how counselors can help parents, targeted teens, and often the forgotten one: the perpetrator.

Physical bullying

When the bullies try to physically hurt or torture someone, or even touch someone without his/her consent can be termed as physical bullying.

Verbal bullying

It is when a person taunts or teases the other person.

Psychological bullying

When a person or group of persons gossip about another person or exclude them from being part of the group, can be termed as psychological bullying.

Cyber bullying

When bullies make use of social media to insult or hurt someone. They may make comments bad and degrading comments on the person at the public forum and hence make the other person feel embarrassed. Bullies may also post personal information, pictures or videos on social media to deteriorate some one’s public image.

Prevention strategies:
In the case of school bullying, parents and teachers can play an important role. They should try and notice the early symptoms of children/students such as behavioral change, lack of self-esteem, concentration deficit, etc. Early recognition of symptoms, prompt action and timely counseling can reduce the after-effects of bullying on the victim.
