Whether in school or at a workplace, bullying is an approach or tactic to gain power and control over people. Attacking someone physically, calling names, threatening, damaging  property, using peer pressure, or abusing can all be types of bullying. We all are well aware of the term "bullying" so Instead of defining it more, I am going to discuss who can stop bullying, what you (we) can do to stop bullying, how to recognize a bully and how to stop bullying behavior.

Well, it is usually up to the targeted person and those around them to stop it. Adults need to rely on managers, human resource department (HR), colleagues, and friends, while kids often rely on their classmates, teachers, and parents to end these harassing patterns. If you are a parent, you need to teach your kid to recognize the warning signs of bullying, how to spot a bully, and what to do next in order to prevent it. I hope this blog post will help both kids and adults who are being bullied. 

A Bully Will Not Accept the Same Treatment in Return

Some people take bullying as joking or teasing, but it is not true. A bully, generally, can criticize someone or serve personal attacks; however, cannot take the same. Joking and teasing is OK among equal persons, and is likewise given and accepted. If I am joking with you or teasing you and not accepting jokes from your side or teasing from your end, then I am a bully. A bully will try to exert control or will get angry when getting the same treatment in return.

How to Spot a Bully

Recognizing bullying is directly proportional to stop bullying. To do this, you need to make your feelings known. I know this is a difficult thing for many kids and adults; we usually appear tough and cool in most of the social settings, but it is important to express your feelings in order to understand or spot a real bully. You need to tell him that his words or actions are hurtful or are not fun. This will help you recognize whether the person you are dealing with is a bully or not a bully. A jovial and funny person, who is not a bully will politely apologize and immediately stop his behavior or actions. On the other hand, a bully will start getting more severe;  he or she will increase bullying and will respond with harsh complaints and insults. This is how you can properly identify a Bully. The above mentioned "not accepting the same treatment in return" is also a sign to spot a bully.

How to Stop Bullying Behavior

After recognizing and understanding that you are dealing with a real bully, you need to take further actions. Now that everything is certain, you need to seek help in order to immediately stop this bullying behavior. Kids should report bullying behavior to their teacher and adults should report it to the manager or boss. If they are not responding or helping, then you need to go to an upper level authority. For instance, if a teacher is not helping then the student should go to the principle. Likewise, if your manager is not helping in this matter, you should go to the HR department. Kids should also tell their parents regarding the bullying behavior experienced by them. Keep in mind that if you are a victim of bullying, you don't have to fear, because you have all the rights to take strong and legal action.

Bottom Line

Do you know that bullies are not bad people? Bullies are (most of them) insecure people; lacking self esteem. If your friend is a bully or if any of your family member or known one is a bully, then it is your responsibility to understand him or her in order to stop his or her bullying behavior. You need to understand the real cause of this deplorable behavior; why your friend or closed one is behaving like this. I have seen many bullies (kids) who are also victims of bullying behavior from older siblings and parents. Some adults bullies were once bullied. In order to address this issue, you need to talk with that person. Being a parent, sibling, teacher, mentor or a friend, it is your responsibility to help them change their behavior. Anger management, impulse control, motivation, boosting self esteem, respect, and a few more skills can help a bully change his or her behavior.

    I recently watched a documentary on Netflix about girls who have been assaulted and then bullied. It was heartbreaking. No one deserves this treatment, especially when it can lead to young people taking their lives. Everyone needs to stand up to bullies and stop letting them take control. Thanks for posting this great reminder of what we can do to help.

    As a retired teacher this was one of the hardest things to deal with. I'm glad schools are so much more aware of what problems this behavior creates. Too many principals wait until it's too late and the problem grows too much.

    Bullying is something that can make a huge impact on a person's life especially when the person being bullied already has low self esteem. I think it always starts at home, bullies are often going through something emotional that they can't express which is why they choose to take it out on someone else. But that's really never an excuse to treat others badly.

    I've always believed that about bullies -- that they're insecure. I feel like it comes from their home too. I suspect they're bullied themselves by someone there.

    Bullying is such a serious issue and it affects so many.It's difficult to find a real solution because of times the bully is acting out because they have their own problems. We need to teach our children that everyone deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Change always starts in the home!

Why is Society important?

Why is Society so important? Why do we care a lot about society? Why we do all the things considering society in mind? What about society irritates us? Why we are judged for every single step we take? Why it is so important? These questions often come in our mind when we are judged by the society. We begin to curse society due to its negative impacts in our lives. Of course, we are the ones who create society and we are crucial members of it as well. Global societies are generally incorporated with different cultures and religions, and it is a fact that a community would look awful with the same type of people; we are not robots. The basic nature of the term "society" is democratic , then why we force cultural expectations in it? I am including relatives also in society, because apart from our neighbors, colleagues, and other people who comes into the circle of social interaction, relatives are also part of it; they are also living under the same socially accepted norms.

What is Nature Poem / Nature Poetry

What is Nature Poem / Nature Poetry Nature poem or poetry is an expression of composing poetry that centers principally on anything related to nature, for example; emotions, images, ideas, and a lot of natural concepts. Both poems and poetry are written matters, which is also a form of writing. However, you can't consider a writer as an poet. One needs rhyme and meter to write the appropriate pattern of poetry or a poem. The nature poetry or nature poem is not restricted to the rhyme or meter; Figurative terminology and exclusive kinds of styles can also be accepted gracefully. I am a writer and I don’t know how to write nature poem. However, I can describe what are nature poem/ natural poetry. So as mentioned above, content writing and poem writing are different subjects. Therefore, not every writer can write poetry. Haiku is the most common as well as a typical kind of nature poetry. Haiku poems are usually short and they normally favor natural elements; weather, seas...

Beggar Mafia in India

Beggar Mafia in India Beggars in India Organized begging is a form of human trafficking that is highly practiced in India. Around 60,000 children go missing in India each year, however, there are probably way more that are not accounted for. The children are forced to work for beggar mafia's, which are organized criminal groups. The mafia usually only takes children that are ten years of age or younger. It is recommended that tourists, as well as natives, do not give the beggars any type of money. By giving them money, the mafia keeps making more and more money, which means they will be kidnapping more kids. "Arms-for-Alms" Scandal The CNN-IBN news channel underwent an investigation and caught three doctors on video agreeing to amputate limbs of child beggars for  as low as $200 or 10,000 rupees. However, the price usually ranges between $200-$800 or 10,000 to 40,000 rupees. The doctors would typically sew the muscles shut which causes gangrene t...
