I thought bullying was behind us. Is it really still a problem? Does it still exist? What type of brain bullies others anyway? I
Bullying behaviors may be used in an attempt to destroy the credibility and reputation of other individuals. Perpetrators may feel threatened by their target’s giftedness, integrity, confidence, popularity, or success. Each perpetrator has their own unique style with preferred tactics to intimidate and control their targets. They may work hard to make friends with their victims, all the while planning to jerk the rug out from under them or find a way to stab them in the back. Some historians think that Julius Caesar was assassinated because of his earlier bullying behaviors toward Roman senators. Bullying behaviors negatively impact everyone: the perpetrators, the targets or victims, families and close friends, anyone who witnesses bullying behaviors, and sometimes even those who simply hear about the events. Bullying can increase the risk among targets or victims for anxiety, depression, poor academic achievement or work performance, and suicide attempts.
