DIFFERENT TYPES OF BULLIES!

THE POEM EXPRESS MY FEELINGS ABOUT BULLYING, SINCE I WAS AFFECTED AS A CHILD BY BULLIES.

The bully’s formative years are marred by poor parental example or by outright neglect. Many bullies come from homes where the parents are cold or uninvolved or have, in effect, taught their children to use rage and violence to handle problems. Children raised in such an environment may not see their own verbal attacks and physical aggression as bullying; they may even think that their behavior is normal and acceptable.

IN WHATEVER CASE THE BULLY'S FORMATIVE YEARS WERE, BULLYING SHOULD BE A SERIOUS CRIME.

▪ Physical Bullies: These are the easiest to identify. They act out their anger by hitting, shoving, or kicking their chosen target—or by damaging their victim’s property.

▪ Verbal Bullies: They use words to hurt and humiliate their target, through either name-calling, insults, or persistent, harsh teasing.

▪ Relationship Bullies: They spread nasty rumors about their target. This behavior is predominantly adopted by female bullies.

▪ Reactive Victims: These are victims of bullying who turn into bullies themselves. Of course, their having been victims of bullying does not excuse their conduct; it only helps to explain it.
