"Use your smile to change the world. But, don't let the world change your smile."

---------------------------

We all are bullied once in our life time, in one way or the other, maybe never. But, there are those who are bullied approximately all the time especially teenagers.

Before we go into details about 'Bullying'. Let's sketch through the the basic things.

>What is bullying?

Many of us are familiar with the word 'Bullying', but many of us actually doesn't know what actually 'BULLYING' means.

Bullying is the use of force, threats, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Rationalizations of such behavior sometimes include differences of social class, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, behavior, body language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size, or ability.

Bullying is divided into four basic types of abuse – emotional (sometimes called relational), verbal, physical, and cyber. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion, such as intimidation.

> Who is a bully and what do they want?

Bully is the person who bullies. If bullying is done by a group of people it's called Mobbing. When a person lacks attention from friends, parents and teacher he/she can be easily become a victim of bullying. Mostly a person would bully others for power, showoff , to look tough or to look cool but also for fun. Children who bully are more likely than other youngsters to experience peer rejection, conduct problems, anxiety, and academic difficulties, and to engage in rule-breaking behavior. A bully is also a bully-victim.

>How do bullying affects ones life?

'Bullying' is fun until it's done too you. This is very important question to know.

People think that the victim will get over it and won't react in any way. People who think like that are wrong.

Those who have been the targets of bullying can suffer from long term emotional and behavioral problems. Bullying can cause loneliness, depression, anxiety, lead to low self-esteem and increased susceptibility to illness. Bullying has also been shown to cause maladjustment in young children, and targets of bullying who were also bullies themselves exhibit even greater ocial difficulties. And a heightened risk of suicide.

>Types of bullying:

As we have said before. There are four types of 'Bullying'. To explain them in simple words:

1~ Physical

This is any bullying that hurts someone's body or damages their possessions. Stealing, shoving, hitting, fighting, and destroying property all are types of physical bullying. Physical bullying is rarely the first form of bullying that a target will experience. Often bullying will begin in a different form and later progress to physical violence. In physical bullying the main weapon the bully uses is their body when attacking their target. Sometimes groups of young adults will target and alienate a peer because of some adolescent prejudice. This can quickly lead to a situation where they are being taunted, tortured, and beaten-up by their classmates. Physical bullying can lead to a tragic ending and therefore must be stopped quickly to prevent any further escalation.
