How Do You Identify A Bully In Schools?
Bullies can make growing up and going to school a very difficult process for some children. Being able to properly identify them before a problem gets violent or out of control is the first step toward combatting it. Many times bullies associate with the “popular” crowd and have lots of friends to reinforce their behavior. They are sociable and know how to communicate with others. Bullies also tend to have a very high self-esteem. They feel the need to put others down to support these emotions. Bullies also typically exhibit anger problems and are frequently hot-tempered. They generally know how to manipulate their victims and have a need for self-dominance. Bullies also tend to associate with other bullies and often share the same victims. Observing the bullies’ friends could also help you identify other bullies of whom you may have been unaware.
