Bullying

Answer 1

Some adolescents get constantly humiliated and taunted by others or fall victim to other people's aggression because they have less power or prestige. They are not weak but they are not able to stand up for themselves. They become the target of continuous attacks. Bullying is very common all around the world. Almost all bullies are also victims and vice versa. Bullies and victims are generally low in self esteem. To improve their self-esteem, they tend to get aggressive. They accept a ruthless manipulative approach to life. They don't trust others and they think that they can easily break their promises and take unfair advantage of others. They are more likely to respond to stress with aggression (lashing out at someone physically or mentally) or by engaging in self destructive behaviour.
