Bullying
You are probably familiar with the term “bullying.” It is mainly defined as the act of being habitually cruel and overbearing to others, especially smaller or weaker people. This has been something that some say has always existed. Bullying has caught a great deal of attention causing grief and discontent because recently many young adults and children have committed suicide because they were being bullied. We have mainly heard bullying as students harassing students. Unfortunately, bullying has led many children to commit suicide . I found a blog that talks about a different type of bullying which is not about a student being bullied by other students, but its about being bullied by your own parents. I found this article interesting because I had not thought that the pain and suffering that children go through from being bullied could last far beyond childhood, it can last through the rest of their life.
On this blog you can “hear” the agony in the words of this bullied person. The photograph used is one that makes you feel the emptiness a child goes through when being bullied.
The article served as a tool to remind us of thinking before we speak to our children to ensure that the words we use are not ones that will make them feel afraid, hurt, uncomfortable, or by any means miserable.
