🚸 The Silent War: Understanding Verbal and Physical Bullying Among Children
“Children don't just bruise on the outside—words and neglect can leave deeper scars.”
❓ What Is Bullying?
Bullying is repeated aggressive behavior intended to hurt another person—physically, emotionally, or socially.
While it may seem like "kids being kids," studies show it leaves lasting damage on both the victim and the bully.
🧠 Types of Bullying:
- Verbal Bullying
Name-calling
Mocking appearance, race, or abilities
Threats or intimidation
- Physical Bullying
Pushing, hitting, tripping
Damaging or stealing belongings
Cornering or isolating someone
- Emotional/Social Bullying
Exclusion from groups
Spreading rumors
Online harassment (cyberbullying)
🚨 Why It Matters:
😟 Victims often suffer anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues
🏫 School performance drops
😶 Some children never report it out of fear or shame
🧠 Even bullies are usually victims of pain or neglect in their own lives
🛡 How Can We Protect Our Kids?
✅ Talk to your child daily — ask about school, friends, how they feel
✅ Teach assertiveness without aggression
✅ Encourage empathy and kindness early
✅ Report incidents — don’t let “small” issues grow
✅ Model healthy conflict resolution at home
🌱 Final Thoughts:
The classroom shouldn’t be a battleground.
Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and seen.
We don’t just raise students — we raise humans.
If you’re a parent, teacher, or even a student reading this…
📌 Take a moment today to notice the quiet ones.
They may be the ones who need you most.
