Teen Bullying

By Craig Rogers

Teen bullying can have a major impact on the lives of teens who experience it. If you are a teen or the parent of a teen that has become of victim of bullying, it is important to remember that everyone has the right to live a life without fear and intimidation. Many bullied teens are skeptical about reporting these harmful acts in fear of making the situation worse. The reality of the situation is that by refusing to tell someone about the bullying, the situation will more than likely continue and is even more likely to escalate. Many victims of teen bullying lack self-respect and have a difficult time overcoming adversity. Teens that are bullied have a tendency for developing behavioral and mental health problems, as a result of the physical and emotional abuse inflicted by peers.

There are multiple strategies for overcoming bullying. Avoiding the perpetrator and staying with a group are strategies used in hopes of eliminating the problem completely. Unfortunately, it's not always that simple. When approached by a bully, pretend not to hear what is being said. An essential factor of teen bullying is the reaction the teen being bullied displays to the teen who is bullying him or her. When the bully is unable to get the reaction they strive for from the bullied teen the bullying may get worse as the bully begins trying harder for a reaction, but if the bullied teen stays persistent with this strategy the bully with often times lose interest. In some cases, bullies are completely oblivious to their actions and making them aware of the pain they've caused is enough to make them stop.

Whatever the case may be, a teen being bullied should tell someone about their situation. Seeking help in regards to their terrible situation is the most effective solution for victims of teen bullying. No one should have to live their life in fear, nor should anyone feel worthless as a result of malicious acts that have been used against them.
