Together against bulling
Stay for Friendship. Join our Training and Stop Bullying Before It Starts.
What is bullying?
Bullying is repeated behavior that hurts, intimidates, or excludes someone, often leaving lasting emotional scars. It can happen through words, actions, or even silence, making victims feel powerless and alone. By recognizing bullying and taking action, we can create a safer, kinder environment for everyone.
The effects of bullying
The effects of bullying run deep, often leaving emotional scars that can last a lifetime. Beyond the pain, bullying creates fear—fear of speaking up, fear of rejection, and, most importantly, fear of losing one’s individuality. Victims may feel pressured to change who they are just to fit in or avoid being targeted. By understanding these effects and taking action, we can help individuals feel seen, valued, and free to be themselves
The role of a bystander
Bystanders play a powerful role in bullying—whether they realize it or not. Watching in silence can unintentionally encourage the bully and deepen the victim’s sense of isolation. Many bystanders fear speaking up, worried they’ll become targets or stand out, but this fear can stop them from doing what’s right. By choosing to act, bystanders can break the cycle, support those affected, and help create an environment where bullying has no place.
