Based to Kyrani Eade, Insecurity doesn’t arise out of years of bullying. It arises out of problems in the present. There are people in your life, who are play underhanded dirty mind games to cause you to feel insecure. Threats can be made in many different ways and they never need to be carried out to have a very bad effect.
According to Luyanda Makapela, “According to the department personal matters such as illness, learning difficulties were some of the reasons for children staying away from school. Others include socio-economic issues such as a lack of transport; lack of parental involvement; dysfunctional families; the impact of HIV and AIDS; drug abuse and teenage pregnancy while school-based concerns include boredom, punishment for late-coming, bullying and violence in schools.”
Based on Karin Gonzalez, “Low self-esteem is a feeling of being unimportant, unworthy, and inept. It is true that individuals with low self-esteem are more prone to victimization by bullies. Additionally, victims of bullying tend to suffer from lower self-esteem due to bullying.”
According to Aida Midgett, “To address bullying at school, counselors first have to be able to identify it. The literature defines bullying as intentional, unwanted and aggressive behavior that is often repeated in relationships with a perceived power differential.”
According to Antoinette Theodossakos, “Physical appearance is, no doubt, a very powerful influence in our society. Using appearance as a factor in the hiring process is inevitable. In most jurisdictions, less attractive individuals have no recourse against an employer when they are adversely affected due to an unprotected characteristic.”
Based on edy420 , “Sure many bullies are born to be douchebags while others have their own problems they are struggling to cope with and vent appropriately…
But my main point is if we take the focus away from bullies and instead put it onto bully victims, we may perhaps discover weaknesses that need strengthening before its too late.”
According to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, “A school where children don’t feel safe is a school where children struggle to learn. It is a school where kids drop out, tune out, and get depressed. Not just violence but bullying, verbal harassment, substance abuse, cyber-bullying, and disruptive classrooms all interfere with a student’s ability to learn.”
