How to help with bullies
By Debbie Wilburn
For the Forsyth County News
What is bullying?
Bullying refers to deliber
ate hostility and aggression
toward the victim. Bullying
can be pushing, kicking,
threats, name calling, sarcasm,
spreading rumors, persistent
teasing and humiliation.
Bullying is a behavior charac
terized by inflicting physical,
verbal or emotional abuse on
another individual or individu
als. Bullying is away of using
control through verbal or
physical aggression to relieve
the bully's own feelings of
inadequacy. Bullying is most
frequent in grades 2 through 6,
most serious in grades 7
through X and then tapers off
after that.
Why do children bully?
Bullies are cultivated in
homes where parents: (1) pre
fer physical means of disci
pline, (2) are sometimes hos
tile and rejecting, (3) utilize
inconsistent parenting styles,
(4) have poor problem solving
skills and (5) teach their chil
dren to strike back at the least
provocation. Bullies learn
from playgrounds and other
experiences that they can get
what they want by picking on
other kids. Many bullies come
from environments where they
have been successful in bully
ing for personal gain or estab
lishing a positive reputation
with their peers, or they bully
to escape an undesirable situa
tion. Research also indicates
that those children with the
highest levels of bullying
behavior usually have parents
who display significantly
greater levels of forceful
parental discipline, spend
more time watching TV vio
lence and less time with other
adults.

his/her behavior that he/she is
being bullied. The following
signs may indicate that the
child is the victim of bulling
behavior:
• Comes home with clothes
tom or books destroyed
• Becomes distressed and
anxious
• Stops eating
• Becomes frightened of
walking to and from school
• Changes his/her usual
route
What parents can do to
help bullied victims
Similar to domestic vio
lence, bullying can leave the
victim believing that he/she
deserved to be bullied. The
victim becomes very vulnera
ble and has no sense of his/her
own personal power. If a child
has been bullied for an extend
ed amount of time, his/her
self-esteem may be very low
and in need of repair. The fol
lowing suggestions can help
parents to build self-esteem in
a child who is a victim of bul
lying.
• Pay attention to your
child’s reports of violence.
• Watch for signs that a
child is being victimized—
such as tom clothing, bruises,
moodiness, withdrawn behav
ior, a drop in grades, lack of
friends, loss of appetite, or
low self-esteem.
• Learn and recognize the
behavior of children victim
ized by bullies
• Take an active role in
your child’s school.
• Record bullying inci
dents.
What parents can do to
help children that bully
Children may turn to bully
ing as away of coping with a
difficult situation such as their
parent's divorce or the death
of a relative. Some bullies are
victims of abuse themselves
and take out their anger and
humiliation on other children
who cannot fight back. The
bullies’ goal is to make them
selves feel better. Bullies use
bullying behaviors to gain
popularity and friends. Parents
must teach children that the
bullying behavior is not
acceptable, that there are con
sequences for such behavior
and that they will not be
allowed to torment others.
Parents can help their bullying
children by doing the follow
ing:
• Model the kind of behav
ior you want children to
exhibit. Be clear that aggres
sive behavior will not be toler
ated
• Find out what may be
troubling their children
• Show their children that
they are loved
• Set up a reward process
for acceptable nonbullying
behaviors
• Discuss with children
ways that they can make
amends for the bullying
• Talk to teachers and other
school personnel about the
bullying behavior the children
display
The presence of bullying
indicates a lack of prosocial
behavior and a lack of respect
for one another. Children who
are prepared to respond to bul
lies are children who feel good
about themselves, have a peer
and adult support system,
demonstrate appropriate inter
personal skills and understand
consequences for such behav
iors. Children that bully often
are children trying to relieve
their own personal pains.
