Hello Friends

this week is Anti Bullying Week

Make sure you get involved in Anti Bullying Week- whether you organise a workshop, stage a show or host a mini conference, it will all help and raise awareness of a great cause.

The theme for Anti Bullying Week 2013 is 'The future is ours. Safe, Fun and Connected'. Previous years have centred around themes such as 'Cyberbullying' and 'Being Different - Belonging Together'. All themes deal with the serious issue of bullying in any form. Anti Bullying Month also takes place from 4-29 November 2013 with the theme 'Creatively dealing with bullying using non-violence'. So there certainly is a lot happening!

Verbal bullying can be just as damaging, if not more damaging than physical bullying. Why? Because it really attacks us mentally. Name-calling, constant teasing, abusive comments that attack a persons race or sometimes weight can have a long-term impact.

Very good post dear...

Now -a- days--- It is a relevant issue in the schools & colleges , and social as well as professional circuits and even in some households... the strong and aggressive browbeating and bullying the weak and soft !!

The things that make me very angry are injustice and bullying. If I see someone bullying a woman or a child in the street, or kicking a dog, I go completely mad...
One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.

Great thread Manu 👏👏👏 Thank you for posting it ❤️ 🤗

I think nowadays more than ever bullying is present in all forms and everywhere in every aspect of our lives. It is something that people should become aware off, and that should be addressed properly.

The most horrible thing is when somebody use their power and status to bully someone who is not able to defend himself/herself.

So, I will quote this part of the post, because it is very important as well:

"Verbal bullying can be just as damaging, if not more damaging than physical bullying. Why? Because it really attacks us mentally. Name-calling, constant teasing, abusive comments that attack a persons race or sometimes weight can have a long-term impact."

Some more facts about bullying!

Harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school-shooting incidents.

Physical bullying increases in elementary school, peaks in middle school and declines in high school. Verbal abuse, on the other hand, remains constant.
