Why do victims often keep their problems with bullying a secret?

Threats by the bully that "if you tell anyone, I'll just make it worse".


What is covert bullying?

The word covert just means secret or hidden. Bullying in the form of psychological abuse is hard to detect just by being a bystander and looking at it. There would be no violence, and often no direct threats, so others might not think there is any bullying occurring at all. Often, it is the victims who react and get punished. This type of bullying might be done with the goal of making the victim seem mentally unstable, since it can appear they are upset for no reason.


What are the short and long term effects of bullying?

Bullying can hurt people both physically and mentally. Obviously, any physical bullying can leave injuries, bruises, scars and can often go as far as death. For the bully, it can often lead to worse crimes such as violence, stealing, and other things in the long run. Bullying can destroy a person's self-esteem. The person may develop psychological beliefs that they deserved to be bullied, which will inhibit them later in life. Some children drop out of school if the bullying is taken to far. Bullying victims have 3 times the normal chance of suffering depression. More and more often bullying is leading to thoughts of suicide and actually carrying it out. Bullying may force the victims to start avoid social situations, which can have devastating results on their lives. Victims may struggle later in life with making friends or dealing with problems. They are many things that go on psychologically in a victim's mind that cause a huge need for bullying to be stopped.


What type of issue is bullying?

Bullying is mostly a social problem. It is often symptomatic of larger problems in society such a a lack of compassion, intolerance to difference, and economic inequalities. Bullying is also a health issue. Victims are more likely to suffer mental illness, stress disorders, phobias, eating disorders, and depression. They are also at a greater risk than the general public of committing suicide.


What is worse physical or verbal bullying?

Physical and verbal bullying are both major problems. physical bullying can lead to many problems with health and emotions. verbal bullying can be just as big a toll. if you, your child, or your friend is being bullied, then talk to a teacher, principal or counselor. These people can help find solutions to the bullying problem. Good luck!

What is the problem of bullying?

You'll find different definitions of bullying, but it boils down to "persistent aggressive behavior that often involves a power imbalance and intention to harm."Bullying does a lot of harm, not only to the victims, but bullies are also effected in negative ways by their own actions. (Bystanders who witness bullying also have psychological effects). But there are a lot of different kinds of bullying and the problem is still being studied by psychologists and sociologists. There is a lot of misunderstanding about bullying, so if you really want to know about it you might want to read some of the research studies about it. There are some in the related links below.

Why do people sometimes think that bullies are tough and confident?

That is just a stereotype. Usually, when there is intimidation or an excessive use of force, it is the person acting out of fear or overcompensation for their insecurities. They often are outwardly tough, but inside, they often feel inadequate. Sometimes they are overweight, and they are teased about their weight, and they lash out using their fists or hurling insults. Plus bullying is not always one-dimensional and things are not always as they seem. Often, the bullies are victims of bullying or abuse elsewhere.
