What is bullying?
Bullying can be defined as repeated and unwanted behaviour with the intention of physically or emotionally harming another person. It can take many forms, including verbal threats, physical assault, gossiping, cyberbullying, and calling names.
Harassment is the legal definition of bullying that specifically relates to someone’s age, gender, disability, gender identity, race, religion or belief, pregnancy, maternity or marriage. Find data on how to report this bullying and protect yourself from further harassment – this is against the law.
Counselling for bullying
Whether you are being bullied at the moment, have been bullied in the past or are otherwise impacted by it, many individuals find counselling helpful. A therapist can assist you to explore, in private and without judgement, what is happening and your options and responses.
At an earlier time in your life, bullying may have affected you, but it may have been a factor in developing other problems such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem.
Types of bullying
Verbal bullying – This includes calling someone unpleasant names, verbally attacking their appearance or threatening them with physical violence.
Physical bullying – Physically hurting someone by purposely hitting, kicking, punching, scratching to cause pain.
Indirect bullying – Ignoring someone, leaving them out of plans, gossiping or spreading rumours behind their backs or visually attacking them eg threatening looks.
Cyberbullying – Including sexting (unwanted texts of a sexual nature), hacking social media accounts, instant messages, text messages, emails and posts that belittle, hurt or abuse you. Social networking can bring people together, but it can enable bullies to target their victims’ homes or places of work.
While this type of bullying is more often used by those of a school age, bullying online isn’t something that affects only young people and children. For adults, it can exist in the workplace and on personal and professional social media accounts (otherwise known as trolling). Visit our website at mindsbhumika.com for more information.
