Why people do bullying?
Sometime people do bullying because they think that doing this they could feel
bigger and better than the others one, a kind of superioridad, but behind that, the
real reasons are:
1. parents who impose rules in their homes, because children grow Up
believing that force is the only way to be someone
2. porque no tienen empatía con los demás, no son respetuosos con sus
compañeros de clase
3. porque no sabe hacer amigos, o no sabe comunicarse correctamente con
otras personas
4. because he suffered bullying before.
Normally people do bullying when they see a person that have different
personality.
SHY PEOPLE, FAT PEOPLE, WEAK PEOPLE
And they do it because the feel cool with this.
TYPES OF BULLYING:
- Physical (when someone pushes you, hits you or harms you in any way
physically). Physical bullying is using one’s body and physical bodily acts to
exert power over peers. Punching, kicking and other physical attacks are all
types of physical bullying.
Unlike relational and verbal bullying, the effects of physical bullying can be
easier to spot.
- Verbal (bullied by name calling regularly and it is hurtful). verbal bullying is
when an individual uses verbal language (e.g., insults, teasing, etc) to gain
power over his or her peers.
For example, a less athletically inclined peer may be called nerd or wimp.
Unlike physical bullying, by definition verbal bullying is harder to see and
stop. It tends to occur when adults aren’t around to stop it and the effects of
it are not obvious.
Verbal bullying can be very damaging and may have long term
psychological effects on the victim.
- social (leaving out, making plans and excluding others, etc.). This sort of
bullying is often harder to recognise and is often carried out behind the back of the
person who is being bullied. It includes:
Lying, fake rumours and spreading gossip
Encouraging others to turn against someone
Leaving someone out constantly and encouraging others to do the same
Socially excluding someone online, cyberbullying, negative comments on posts and
images
Damaging someone's social reputation or social acceptance
Using humiliating nicknames and continuing when asked to stop
It isn’t easy for someone going through this to accept when the line crossed from being
a prank or banter to persistent bullying. By the time you realise it is bullying, it may feel
harder to seek support.

- Cyberbullying (being bullied online, via mobile phone or on social networks).
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones,
computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, Text, and apps, or
online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or
share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative,
harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal
or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation.
Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.
The most common places where cyberbullying occurs are:
Social Media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter
SMS (Short Message Service) also known as Text Message sent through
devices
Instant Message (via devices, email provider services, apps, and social media
messaging features)

physical and emotional pain. Bullying can play a role in problems such as
