Primary Schoolers Bullying
Primary Schoolers Bullying
- Bullying is when one person attacks another with words, hands, feet, dirty looks, rumours or rudeness. The person who is attacked is upset and afraid of being attacked again.
- Bullies attack in all sorts of ways. They can bully a person about their looks, the way they dress , their race, family, culture or choice of friends
- The more upset the bullied person becomes the more the bully likes it.
- Children don't like
telling about bullying because:
- telling is 'dobbing'
- they may be ashamed
- they are being bullied about something they would rather not talk about
- they feel they deserve it
- they think things will get worse if parents, teachers or friends get involved
- they may have been threatened not to tell anyone 'or else!'
- Most children are picked on because other children see them as weaker or stronger.
- Parents have many
feelings when they find out that their child is being bullied. They may
feel helpless, afraid, ashamed, guilty, protective, angry or confused and
say things like:
- 'What were you doing to annoy them?'
- 'Just ignore them' or 'Walk away'
- 'Why don't you fight back?'.
