    EYES ON

    BULLYING
    What can you do?
    Bullying is an emotional or
    physical abuse.
    And is defined in three
    characters.

    1. DELIBERATE – A bully’s intention is to hurt


    someone
    2. REPEATED – a bully often targets the same victim
    again and again
    3. POWER IMBALANCED – a bully chooses victims
    he or she perceives as vulnerable
    Bullying occurs in many
    different forms,
    with varying levels of
    severity.
    It may involve: • Physical Bullying—poking, pushing, hitting,
    kicking, beating up
    • Verbal Bullying—yelling, taunting, name-
    calling, insulting, threatening to harm
    • Relational Bullying—excluding, spreading
    rumors, getting others to hurt someone
    • Cyberbullying—Sending hurtful messages
    or images by Internet or cell phone.
    Understanding what
    bullying looks like will help you stop
    it before it escalates.
    Bullies, Victims,
    and Bystanders
    Bullying involves multiple players. Bullies, victims, and bystanders
    all play important roles in contributing to bullying—and each can
    help make bullying stop.

    Bullies… select and


    systematically train their
    victims to comply to their
    demands. They seek active But, bullies can be

    bystanders. and apply new ways to
    stand up against
    bullying. Bullies can
    also learn
    how to make friends
    and get what they want
    by helping, rather than
    hurting, others.
    Victims… reward the bully by yielding control and showing signs of
    intimidation. They often fail to gain support from bystanders and avoid
    reporting the bullying.

    But, victims can learn to defeat the bully by responding assertively,


    rallying support from bystanders, or reporting the bullying to adults.

    Bystanders…play an important and pivotal role in promoting or


    preventing bullying. Often without realizing it, they may exacerbate a
    situation by providing an audience, maintaining silence, actively
    encouraging, or joining in.

    But, bystanders can neutralize or stop the bullying by aiding the victim,
    drawing support from other bystanders, or obtaining help from adults.
    Finding bullying

    Being silent often surrounds bullying. Many children who


    are bullied never tell anyone.

    Most bullying is not


    reported because children

    • Don’t recognize it as bullying • Don’t know how to talk


    • Are embarrassed about it
    • Don’t want to appear weak • Think adults won’t
    understand
    But just because you don’t see it, and children don’t talk about it,
    doesn’t mean bullying isn’t happening. Even when children fail to
    report bullying, they often show warning signs.

    • Unusually sad, moody,


    • Unexplained damage or loss anxious, lonely, or
    of clothing and other
    depressed

    • Loss of interest in favorite
    • Thoughts of suicide
    activities
    What can we do?
    Parents, caregivers,
    healthcare providers and
    educators working
    together can play crucial
    roles in bullying
    prevention in homes,
    early childhood
    programs, schools,
    afterschool and youth
    programs, camps, and
    healthcare settings.
    • We are on the front lines, likely to see bullying when it
    occurs and establish the rules needed to prevent it.

    We are the adults children turn to for help resolving


    problems or to confide
    their concerns.

    We are in a unique position to help them navigate the


    challenges of their social world.
    • Don’t assume the problem will go away on its own.
    Invite children to talk about what is bothering them.

    If you find out a child is being bullied,


    show support, help develop a response strategy,
    and follow up to make sure the bullying does not
    continue
