Let me go first with the questions, what is bullying and what are the different types of bullying?
ReplyDeleteThere is no agreed definition of bullying. It can take many forms - physical, verbal or social (for example deliberately keeping someone out of a group). All forms have something in common - they cause distress, at times extreme. There are numerous definitions of bullying written for various purposes and emphasizing different aspects.
DeleteThanks Ms. Hiba
DeleteHi Ms. Hiba
ReplyDeletesome of the kids in my school are calling me bad names and this annoys me. What should I do???
If you are being bullied at school, find a trusted teacher (or past teacher), school psychologist, guidance counselor, or administrator with whom you can speak. Explain to them your case and they will be able to help you to stop this.

ReplyDelete2 days back, I saw some boys making fun of a kid in our neighborhood. The boy was crying and I felt pity for him. Can I do something to help him.
Of course you can do and you should do!
DeleteFirst, tell your parents about this situation and let them handle it. Second, if the boy is in your school, you should speak to your teacher, the guidance counselor, or the administrator about his case. They will provide the help heeded.
I have another question, why don't children tell that they are being bullied?
ReplyDeleteChildren give a variety of reasons for not telling an adult about bullying, ranging from being afraid of what the bullies might do if they found out, to feelings of failure because they could not deal with the bully themselves.
