School bullying cycle stages
-
Target selection: Bullies often choose their targets based on certain characteristics, such as physical appearance, social status, or behavior.
-
Initial behaviors: Bullying often starts with minor actions like teasing, mocking, or ignoring, which may seem trivial.
-
Repetition: Bullying becomes systematic when the bully consistently repeats their actions, purposefully hurting or demeaning the victim.
-
Intensity increase: Violence and cruelty escalate, including physical or psychological abuse.
-
Involvement of bystanders: Other students may become involved, some as accomplices, others as silent witnesses, or passive observers.
-
Social isolation: The bullying victim may be isolated from their peers, worsening their social status and intensifying feelings of loneliness.
-
Impact on self-esteem and well-being: Persistent bullying can lead to lowered self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other emotional problems.
-
Academic challenges: A child may struggle to focus on their studies, resulting in declining academic performance.
-
Physical and psychological consequences: Bullying victims may experience physical pain and emotional trauma, which can have long-term effects.
-
Seeking help: The bullying victim or their support system may seek help from parents, teachers, psychologists, or other adults.
