Hello friends!!

Bullying is an evil act and should not be encouraged

During your life, have you ever received bullying? If so, in what form? physical, verbal or through cyber bullying. Provide your review?

Yes I have received bullying. The kind of bullying I received was both cyber bulling and physical bullying.

Growing up as a kid I was the type that doesn't talk much. In school I there was this guy that always felt he is lord over all.

He took advantage of the fact that I wasn't the talking type to bully me. Each time he sees me in school, he would make some silly talks about me causing me to be ashamed of myself.

He even goes ahead to collect my lunch or money given to me. Now this is physical bullying. I was afraid of reporting his actors to my teachers because I was afraid he threaten to beat me up if I do.

Also when I started using the internet for the first time, I received a message from a user saying I should do some task else I would die in 4 days. At this point I thank God I was a better version of myself. I didn't keep quite about the threat, I reported it because this user kept demanding I do what he says.

Bullying someone is not a good practice and anyone caught in it should be dealt with.

How do you equip your children to avoid bullying either at school or in their social environment

Bullying is not a good thing and children should be aware of it through constant teaching about the subject, showing them the negative effects of this act.

Also another way to equip children is to get them to speak out whenever they feel bullied by anyone no matter what the bully says to them. Speaking up makes solves the problem half way.

I can also help the children develop an amazing self esteem so that they don't feel less of themselves just like I did while growing up.

Lastly another way to equip the children is make my self accessible to them for conversations Incase they need to speak to me about it.

Give your opinion on how to overcome bullying in form physical, verbal or through cyber bullying

To overcome bullying first build themselves up in such a way that we don't have low self esteem at all.

To overcome bullying, never keep the bully a secret or his actions. Find ways to talk to the right person or people to get help.

Learn to defend yourself whenever the bully is around so that you don't get hurt when he makes an attempt to attack.

Learn to walk away with pride when you feel bullied so that the bully doesn't continue with the action.
