Understanding, Responding to, & Preventing Bullying

Insiders vs. Outsiders What is “normal”? Who decides? The majority (in any given situation) decides what is “normal” and “acceptable”; in other words, they are “insiders.” Those bullied are usually “outsiders.” They’re not accepted by the majority or the “insiders.” Bullying makes people “others.” Bullying is most common in middle school. Why?

Bullies are more powerful than their victims. That power difference is physical and/or intellectual and/or social. Bullies harm their victims repeatedly. That harm is physical and/or emotional. Bullying : repeated attempts to hurt a less powerful victim Hurtful + Repeated + Power Imbalance = Bullying Bullying Basics

Overt (visible to victim): harassing physically or verbally or ostracizing the victim in his or her presence. Covert (invisible to victim):talking behind the victim's back to disrespect, or to spread gossip or rumors Cyber-bullying (bullying using electronic devices) can be overt and / or covert Bullying Basics, continued

How do I know if it’s bullying? Are there repeated harmful acts? Is there an imbalance of power (physical, intellectual, social)between the bully and the victim? If the answer to both of these questions is ‘yes,’ then it’s bullying. Harmful Acts + Repeated + Power Imbalance = Bullying

Victims’ Responses to Bullying Some victims turn their responses inward depression anxiety suicidal thoughts or actions Other victims turn their responses outward aggressive behavior threatening, intimidating, or bullying others these people are called “bully-victims”

Bullies Hurt Themselves Bullies are at increased risk for... alcohol and drug abuse academic problems violent behavior as adults incarceration

Bullying Involves Others A ‘perpetrator’ is the bully or one who joins in bullying A ‘bystander’ attempts to remain uninvolved, often by looking on silently or finding an excuse to walk away An ‘upstander’ stands up for the victim; that is, takes action opposed to the bullying: intervenes to stop the bullying allies with the victim seeks help from an adult
