Adolescents may face the problem of being bullied. They may be humiliated or fall victim to other people’s aggression when they have less power or prestige.
Bullying can be physical, emotional or mental. The intent of bullying is always negative.
Almost all bullies are victims themselves. Both, bullies and victims are low in self-esteem.
Bullies are aggressive, ruthless manipulators who don’t trust others, break their promises and take unfair advantage of others. They respond to stress with aggression or by engaging in self-destructive behaviour.
Boys generally indulge into bullying to gain power while girls indulge in bullying when they are depressed.
