Are Certain Children more Likely to be Bullied?
Victims are usually loners. Children who appear to
be friendless can be magnets for bullies. Many
times it's how kids carry themselves. The bullies
pick up on that. They also might pick on children
who are different - mental or physical handicaps.
Girls in cliques will pick on you simply because
you don't wear your hair or clothes they way they
see fit to be cool. (Insults, Gossip, Rejection,
Spreading Rumors) Sometimes there is "no reason"
why a bully picks a certain kid to pick on. But,
the bullying leaves the victims believing there is
something wrong with themselves. The result: More
self-esteem has been shattered. (Everyone has been
bullied to some degree, whether mentally or
physically)
