School bullying, currently known as Anglicism bullying, is a problem that affects millions of children in schools and even in their own homes, since the widespread use of the internet has made new ones appear types of bullying so they even continue to harass these little ones when they are in different places. For this reason, below we are going to know the problem a little better while we will analyze the most frequent types.
The problem of bullying or bullying
Bullying has always existed, so one or more people harass or intimidate a victim found in the school environment. However, over time it has evolved and changed to the point where today, through the internet, they continue to harass even when the young person has left school.
This makes the effect even more negative if possible, so the authorities have decided to get down to work and encourage children who feel abused to report their abuser, thus avoiding the most negative aspects of this kind of behavior.
Bullying can affect a person very negatively, especially if we talk about the psychological aspect, since we are facing an abuse in which the abuser feeds on the suffering of his victim, with which he always tries to do as much damage as possible.
There are different reasons why this behavior can occur; The first and most frequent is the fact that the bully feels inferior and has self-esteem problems, so he tries to hide them through this behavior. It is also common for the harasser to be envious of something related to the harassed, so that it is their particular revenge for something that the harassed does not control.
On the other hand, it also seems to be proven that the more aggressive the parents are, the more likely the child will be a bully, so that it is very common to find unstructured families or with problems of internal violence in these cases.
Usually, the abuser has a bad relationship with his parents, in addition to not usually abiding by clear rules of coexistence within his home, which makes him not feel responsible when he acts in this way.
If you don't act quickly, both the stalker and the bullied could develop serious psychological problems over time, and could even lead to suicide.
There are also other psychological side effects that can last even throughout the life of the victim, so that they develop with fewer possibilities and more walls than a person who has never suffered bullying, in addition to suffering higher levels of stress , depression, anxiety, psychosomatic disorders and problems when it comes to socializing and relating, which also has a negative influence on their working life.
The different types of bullying
But to better understand the problem of bullying, we are going to indicate the most common types of bullying that usually occur in our society.
Carnal bullying
It is a very serious type of bullying in which there is sexual harassment towards the victim, being able to be between children of different sex or even between children of the same sex.
It usually manifests itself when the victim is forced to perform acts that he does not want, such as touching certain parts of the stalker's body, or the stalker himself touching the victim's private parts, and even other actions such as forcing the victim to kiss the stalker, and even forcing him to watch movies to adults when you don't want to.
This type of harassment is very dangerous, since it can affect the victim very negatively and throughout life, and can affect them especially in their intimate relationships in adulthood.
As it is physical and sexual harassment, the victim often does not tell their parents or guardians anything, so it is difficult to detect, especially when it takes place in or out of school, but also far from the control of their own. fathers.
However, the person who suffers this type of bullying will do everything possible to disagree with their bully, so that they may even refuse to go to school or do activities that they previously liked.
Physical bullying
It is a type of bullying in which there is a significant physical component. The bully behaves in an aggressive and intimidating way in front of the victim, reaching physical aggression with kicks, tripping, pushing and any type of blow as well as other physical actions that lead the victim to be ashamed, such as lowering his pants at recess, etc.
It is the most frequent type of bullying, and although generally the victim does not communicate the situation to their parents, since it is something physical, there are usually signs and marks on the victim's body, so that they may be the ones that set off the alarm in them cases.
In addition, there may also be other indications such as tears in clothing, school supplies, etc.
Social bullying
It is a more indirect type of bullying, that is, it is usually based on the marginalization of a particular person (victim) but everything usually happens behind his back. The objective is to marginalize her and prevent her from taking part in the activities, making her void when she is present and even leading to spreading false rumors so that she is also rejected by the rest of the girls.
It should be noted that this type of bullying is much more frequent among girls than among boys.
Regarding the reaction, the victim will become more lonely, will present sudden mood swings, will avoid forming a group with other colleagues, and in general will appear more and more introverted.
Verbal bullying
Verbal bullying is one that takes place without physical means, but only through the use of the word. Intimidation, insulting phrases with a high content of cruelty, threats, mockery of their sexual condition or race, disability or any other element that makes the victim different, etc. are frequent.
In this case, the child's behavior also changes, appearing more absent and even worsening his sense of humor. It is also common for him to shy away from situations in which he has to be with more people, and in general he becomes more subdued and less willing to do activities that until recently were very fun.
Cyberbullying
As for cyberbullying, it is a type of bullying that has recently appeared and that is fundamentally based on social networks, since it is through them that harassment occurs.
It can also be given through email, but often, the stalker spreads false rumors that affect the victim very negatively, even causing deep psychological problems.
In this case, it can be observed that the victim spends a lot of time with the computer, and when he finishes he is sad and may even present a picture of anxiety. It is also common for you to have problems falling asleep, in addition to wanting to stop doing the activities you did before, you will become more closed, etc.
These are the main types of bullying that must be faced in today's society, so that each and every one of us is responsible for preventing a child from being negatively affected by the problems and behaviors of the bully. Both teachers, parents and even parents of other children and their own classmates, we can all do our bit to detect and correct this type of behavior before it is too late, thus preventing the damage from lasting even throughout the victim's lifetime.
I find it interesting, this diffusion, but I think it occurs more in individual IE, often teachers or owners, they are only interested in making money, without noticing what happens around.
It should also be disseminated that not because two or three boys say that he or she / (attacked =) annoys, insults ... they believe them and not the attacked for being alone and unique, since the three allied to do harm ..
The psychologists and / or teachers must be alert at all times and not believe in the little gang who play their theater in front of the victim who is afraid to speak out because of their threats.
