Bullying is bullying, whether it's done online or physically, it doesn't change the effect and damage it has on the person's emotions, mental health and self esteem.
Many adults are still suffering from low self esteem, social withdrawal, timidity, and even depression because of a word said to them by a bully, because of an action that suppresses their mental health, self worth and that's why I feel nothing when I see a bully suffer.
Because online bullying involves abusive words, messages, hurtful comments, it doesn't make it any different from physical bullying. They both have negative effects on their victims and cause damage.
We feel a block or muting those who bully online is the solution, and we forget that bad words are weapons, and they hurt like physical abuse. Bad words aren't easily forgotten.
The negative effect online bullying has on the self-esteem of a person can lead to depression. In most cases, it is as bad as physical bullying, the both practices should be treated as equal. Online bullying is as painful as physical bullying. Nothing hurts more than bad words, a rain of abuse and shame in a public space. Bad words are like weapons, they traumatize people and, in most cases, victims of online abuse even seek therapy, the way those abused physically seek for medical solution to cure bruises on their body.
Online bullying shouldn't be seen as less, that a kind of bully that follows the victim everywhere. It creates a certain public opinion about the victims.
It's like a stigma, it hurts like injury. As I said earlier, words are weapons. A single embarrassing word about a person can cause timidity, affect their self esteem, cause withdrawal, self doubt , tears and, in most cases, they can't heal without attending therapy. That a bully came with words doesn't make the weight less to bear and online bullying can lead victims to committing suicide or cause suicidal thoughts.
Physical bullying causes pain, fear, self doubt and affects mental health of a person. The injuries sustained during physical combat could cause severe health complications or even death.
Bully shouldn't be endured or tolerated, we should encourage those who are being bullied to fight back and speak up early, to avoid serious complications.
My younger brother was ones a victim of physical bullying when we were still kids in primary school. He had always been a child who was always excited about going to school with his sisters, but suddenly , began to cry every morning we were going to school. I knew something wasn't right, because that wasn't like him.
Fast forward to a particular day I paid more attention to his class and found out he was being bullied by a classmate and that was the end. Immediately, I reported to the school authorities, reported to my parents and also encouraged him to fight back.
I don't believe in being silent in situations as severe as bullying another person. When you are being bullied, it's very necessary to fight back, speak up and create boundaries.
Bullying doesn't even end at a certain age. I also had experience during my service year with my employer and I had to remind her of my primary duties at her business place.
Giving a bully a taste of their own meal is a good way to handle those who choose to bully others at every given opportunity. Bullying has a lot of effects on the mental, emotional and physical health of a person, be it physically or online, and they should be treated equally.
In most cases, bullying starts in schools and that is why schools should be more vigilant and treat every act of bullying with serious concern, create strict rules about bullying, be it verbally or physically, because school is always the first place students exhibit this habit of bullying other kids.
To create a safer future where bullying will no longer exist, schools and parents need to do better in raising kids. Kids should be taught empathy and kindness from their various homes and also in school.
Encourage them to speak up and fight against bullies, without fear or intimidation
I always support those influential personalities who sue those who derive pleasure in bullying others online, those who choose to spread the wrong narrative and abuse others for choosing to live the way that pleases them. I believe teaching them a good legal lesson will help reduce the rate of cyberbullying in our society. Bullying shouldn't be tolerated and should be put to an end at all cost.
In conclusion, both online and physical bullying causes emotional, psychological and mental effects on their victims. They both leave scars on their victims and they should be treated equally and not tolerated in our society. Both, leave trauma on victims and even shape their lives and self worth of the victim. Bullying is bad.
