Bullying has affected a lot of people including adults and children negatively. Psychologically and emotionally, it has eaten deep into so many lives in our society today. This topic was inspired by the @hivelearners community week eleven edition one topic titled BULLYING
Bullying simply means when you are intentionally hurting someone or forcefully pushing someone into doing what he or she doesn't wish to do. Do you know that some men bully their wives? Such a sad story I consumed earlier this year from a friend who was constantly bullied by her own husband simply because he thinks he is much older than her and has authority over her.
However, bullying often happens in school and I will give a practical example here. Back then in my university days, I had a problem with accommodation and so the only option left for me was to go live with my uncle and be attending lectures from his house. My uncle's first Son was in boarding school then but he use to come home once in a while. One of the weekends he came back home, I noticed a boy in depression, a once cheerful boy suddenly became cold for two days. His attitude gave me concern and I had to talk to him in love and with patience until he revealed the reason behind his depression.
He explained how he was being bullied by his seniors constantly in the boarding school. They will force him to submit his beverages to them, they will punish him if he dares refuses to wash their clothes, and take away some of his belongings to use without any form of permission. To crown it all, they will threaten him with severe punishment if he reports them to the school authority or his parents.
Sadly, the parents didn't notice what the poor boy was going through. It was all about their office job and being busy every time. I had to draw the attention of his parent to the ongoing issue and from the information we gathered from him, we went to the school and had a one-on-one talk with the school authority. Of course, those seniors were served a two-week suspension each. We gradually build my cousin's brother's emotional life back. And today he is fine and doing well, no longer suffering the emotional and psychological stress in the course of bullying.
Well, I don't think this can be totally eradicated but if these measures below are implemented, it will be reduced.
- Parents should always develop good communication and listening skills with their children, with this, they will quickly notice when things go wrong and come to the aid of the child.
- Parents should also teach their children good morals and not to bully others.
- The school authority should constantly sensitize the students on the dangers of bullying and give punishment to those involved in the act.
- Anyone (including adult) under the victim of bullying should not close his or her mouth but speak up to the appropriate authorities.

Bullying happens almost everywhere. In the case of schools, boarding students suffer a hell from their senior students. While some students can endure and take it as something normal, some are affected psychologically. Thanks for being there for the boy. He would have become wicked when he become a senior student or remain affected by the trauma. One love my person. I just saw your open teeth today. Share small with me abeg...:joy:
Oh yes, this is possible.
Thank you 🤩🤩
You are highly welcome mam.
Bullying in our world today is an everyday thing
Everyday someone is being bullied all over internet
You go to church they bully you if you don’t do as they say
It’s just something that’s eating our society
It needs to stop
Oh yes, you are right...as if it's becoming a tradition.
It's is well oo
Thanks for your warm visit👍🤩
As a person who was bullied in school, I can testify to all the effects it has on people, anyways the tips you gave on how it can be eradicated would surely go a long way if they are really considered. At least my school are truly putting then in place the last time I visited. It's It's common in boarding schools where it seems to be the norm.
Oh, glad your school is making effort in eradicating this issue a bit. The negative effects has been bad.
Thanks for visiting my page
Much appreciated.
You're welcome!!
The effects of bullying can be way beyond physical. Both mentally and emotionally these people can suffer. It will even be worse when they believe that nothing can be done to make their case better. This is why it is good when our kids feel safe so that they can tell us anything at all that is troubling them.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Dear @nkemakonam89, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got an important support from the community. However, it lost its funding few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency,

Your support would be really helpful and you could make the difference! Thank you!
I've heard of these things usually done in a boarding house and it is something these house masters and mistresses need to look into.
It's bad to bully someone and if care isn't taken, the person usually ends up having damaged self-esteem.
Yea, self-esteem is usually affected by bullying...
Thanks for dropping by my dear 👍
Your are welcome, have a lovely day.
