Bullying Awareness Month – October 2018<\/strong><\/h2>\n

October is Bullying Awareness Month and similar to the pumpkins we see all around town during this time and similar to the ones above, we are all different in our own ways. A bully is someone who takes advantage of those differences and hurts another person through harm, intimidation, or coercion. This can include bullying someone based on the color of the other person\u2019s skin, who they \u201clike-like\u201d, who their friends are, how much money they have, etc.<\/p>\n

There are two<\/span> different kinds of bullying that affects the victim on different social levels: the individual<\/strong> or collective<\/strong>. These can be broken down even more as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Individual bullying <\/em><\/strong>includes physical, verbal, relational and cyber-bullying. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Collective bullying<\/em><\/strong> includes mobbing and can include any of the individual types of bullying as well. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Examples of individual bullying<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Physical bullying<\/em> is any action that hurts someone\u2019s body or damages their possessions. This can include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Pushing\/Shoving<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Biting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Kicking<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Hitting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Fighting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Choking<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Pinching<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

    • \n

      Stealing<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Destroying property<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Verbal bullying<\/em> is through speech and is the most common form of bullying, especially in groups of girls. Girls use these techniques in order to gain control over another individual as well as express their superiority. This can include:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Name-calling<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Spreading rumors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Threats<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Making fun of someone<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Relational bullying<\/em> is when someone wants to damage someone\u2019s reputation or social standing. This type of bullying may include different verbal or physical threats to an individual in order for the bully to gain a higher social standing or to control their victim. This is typically a form of bullying that is favored by young girls as well.<\/p>\n

        Cyber-bullying<\/em> is the using computers, phones, tablets, etc. to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. This includes:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Email<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Social Networking Sites (Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Text messages<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Instant messaging<\/p>\n

          \n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Examples of Collective bulLying<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Mobbing<\/em> is when a group of people bully one person. The group can include family members, friends, classmates, co-workers, neighbors, community members, or online groups involving any of the individual forms of bullying that are shown above.<\/p>\n

          \n

          How to Beat Bullying:<\/span><\/h2>\n

          \n

            \n
          1. \n

            Acknowledge what is going on <\/h3>\n

            Don\u2019t keep it a secret; tell your friends and family because it shouldn\u2019t be embarrassing for you, it is embarrassing for the bully.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          2. \n

            Confront a bully!<\/h3>\n

            Do not allow the behavior to continue, it is not normal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          3. \n

            Do not encourage a bully<\/h3>\n

            If you see someone getting bullied, do not laugh along with what is going on because then you become a bully yourself.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          4. \n

            Battle Buddies<\/h3>\n

            In the military, a soldier is not allowed to do anything by him or herself in order to assure the safety of the member. Have a buddy to help in combat the bully, it\u2019s easier when you have somebody in your corner with you.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          5. \n

            Confidence is key!<\/h3>\n

            If you have thick skin, there is a good chance the behavior or threatening words that are being thrown your way won\u2019t stick. When a bully doesn\u2019t receive the attention or reaction they want, more often than not, they will not continue the behavior.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
