If
you are in any
way suspicious
that your child
is a bully, you
need to begin
taking the
right steps so
that they
realize the
harm that they
are causing and
stop the
bullying. If
you don!|t stop
it, your child
may grow up to
become an adult
bullying
because they
have seen that
they can
achieve power
this way and
enjoy
intimidating
others. For
many children
(both the bully
and the
victim),
bullying can
have extremely
serious
results. It has
been proven
that those
children who
bully are more
likely to
experiment with
drugs and crime
as they get
older. They are
also more
likely to have
bad
interpersonal
relationships
with others.
This is just
the damage it
will do to your
child !V it
does not even
take into
account the
damage done to
the
victim.
If
you do suspect
that you child
is a bully, you
should ask some
questions and
watch out for
certain
behavior. This
way you will be
able to judge
for yourself
and determine
whether or not
they are. If
you are aware
of your child
showing
repeated
aggressive
tendencies
towards other
children such
as hitting or
pushing, this
is a strong
indication that
they are a
bully. Also, if
your child
gangs up with
his friends to
hurt another
child, this is
another warning
sign.
Have
you ever
seen your
child
spreading
malicious
rumors
about
another
child,
either
when just
talking to
friends or
in general
with a lot
of other
children?
This is
especially
true of
female
bullies.
Emotional
bullying
is just as
problematic
and needs
to be
dealt with
immediately.
Bullies
will often
leave
friends
out on
purpose to
show that
they have
power. So
be on the
look out
for
this.
Of
course, good
natured teasing
and rifts among
friends happen
while children
are growing up,
but there are
clear
indications of
bullies and
behavior such
as that above
which occurs on
a regular basis
needs to be
dealt with. It
is common for
childhood
bullies not to
understand how
serious their
actions are and
the effect on
people!|s lives
they can have.
As a parent,
you need to
guide your
child and
explain that it
is simply not
acceptable
behavior.
If
you have seen
that friends of
your child
often get
involved in
bully-like
behavior, it
does not
necessarily
mean that your
child is a
bully !V they
may just be
overwhelmed by
peer pressure.
You need to sit
your child down
and explain
that they are
not good
friends and
they need to
choose other
friends because
what they do is
wrong. If your
child is not a
bully, they
will understand
what you are
saying.
