Bullying can happen at any age

Posted by: Uticopa in bullying, abuse on Jun 01, 2011


Bullying can be a problem at any stage of your life. For the hapless victim it causes serious distress and can affect mental health for decades to come.

The mindsets of the people doing the bullying are often similar, whatever their ages. It's when the ancient ‘tribal' instinct of terrorising a perceived ‘enemy' comes into play.  And who is the supposed enemy?  It's anyone who is seen to be different in some way from the rest of the peer group.  The instinct of the bully is to chastise and taunt the person seen to be ‘different' so that, by so doing, the bully is made to feel somehow more confident and ‘king' of his domain.
