Bullying Guide

Being bullied causes a great deal of conflicting feelings, one of these being anger and since the victim of a bully is usually a non violent person this anger gets held in and can be one of the main causes of depression. Victims of bullies will eventually arrive at the point where they can no longer hold in this anger, this is when they reach the point of boiling and a release of the internal pressure is needed.

As the person is generally a non violent one they can very often turn to hurting themselves instead of lashing out at the bully and very often even attempt suicide. In the United Kingdom alone it is thought that each year:

* Over 5000 people commit suicide.

* At least 16 young people or children commit suicide due to bullying.

* At east 19,000 children will have attempted suicide, this is one every half hour.

* For males between the ages of 18 and 24 suicide is the number one cause of death.

* Over 30% of the workforce in the United Kingdom suffer from mental health problems.

Bullying, harassment and abuse causes severe problems with our health these problems are often diagnosed as stress and anxiety but also includes depression.

Strategies for dealing with anger to help eliminate depression

All targets of bullies whatever their age or gender will eventually come to a boiling point if the anger is left to fester and eventually the smallest of irritations can cause an outburst. This trigger could come from our adversaries but more often than not it will come unwittingly from friends or family.

Anger controls a person and when we become angry we lose control, bullies know this and this is what they are aiming for, this is why a bully will constantly provoke you.

By holding in the anger you are risking your health and by expressing your anger with friends and family you are in theory allowing the bully to control you even after the event.

Here are some tips for getting the frustrations out quickly and early:

* Take an empty plastic milk carton and jump up and down on it until you feel better, do this in private of course.

* Visit a counselor or therapist and talk things through.

* Every time you have a negative thought remind yourself “I am responsible for how I feel”.

* Read books on anger management and ways of dealing with stress.

* Save up all your empty glass bottles and take them to a bottle bank, drop them in and hear the glass shatter, breaking glass is thought to be soothing.

It is important to remember that you are not alone in how you feel, all targets of bullies get angry and let the anger build up until it’s uncontrollable. The important thing is to manage this anger and let off steam when you feel the need to but always remain in control of the anger and don’t let it bring you to the brink of serious depression or worse – suicide.

Bullying Self Harm And Suicide Question & Answers

Bullying Self Harm And Suicide Question: 1


do you think this would be of a good read if i could put pen to paper?

to write a book about true events that have happened in someones life ie a child from your own father, sexual abuse , adoption, surrogacy, abortion. suicide, attempted suiciide , self harming, bullying, seeking plastic surgery, being hospitilised and put in a mental health unit to stop yourself rom ending your life, domestic vilolence, a stabbing, body dysmorphia disorder, prostitution, depression, nervous breakdown, alopecia totiilis complete baldness,, divorce, affairs,death by alcholism , theft,gays etc these are all true but it would be how to word it and then how to publish it do you think if i could write it as a book it would sell i am changing names but it will be written by me so i cant be sued by people can i if ther names are NOT MENTIONED AND IT IS ALL TRUE ANY ADVICE on how to put it together where to start with each event and how to word it im not very clever but im not thick either how long do you suppose it would take to write it then where do i send it to be printed etc would you buy it

Answer:
The idea is good but you don't even know where to begin and that is your problem. Writers are people who write. Anyone can have a good idea but if they cannot get that idea across then what is the point? It is like me describing a painting then saying: "Do you think this will be a good painting if I put paint to canvas?" Even though I can describe the painting to be perfect, I cannot paint, so what will the painting look like? To write a book, you have to have that inner desire to write, not for yourself, but for the sake of writing - just like a musician controls the music, a writer must control the words. I do not mean to sound harsh - just stating the obvious: if you have a good idea, then good; if you can write coherently, then even better... but if you do not know how to portray these ideas, and you cannot write about them, then your ideas are useless. I wish you well in this endeavour of yours, and suggest that if you cannot write it yourself, then maybe find a ghost writer to do it for you - that way, you can explain your ideas, and a professional writer can put it down on paper in the context that you want. Good luck with it. Edit: Just want to add that if you write about somebody, even if you change the name, if that person recognises him/herself from the description you give or how you portray them, then yes, you can be sued for defamation of character, so be careful.

Bullying Self Harm And Suicide Question: 2


If this was your school wouldn't the right thing be to batter the head to reinstatement and an apology?

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-200... Namely two students 16 at a BOARDING school got cuaght having sex big deal. Now how hypocritical is that? like the head teacher or the teacher who caught them was a virgin? And like most of the other students unless ugly or lacking social skills (most likely resulting in future lives of annorexia, bulemia, self harm, suicide attempts and councelling as all the ir future love lifes would involve only masturbation, porn and occasional hooker which is what absteinance leads to). They most likely stay in dorms so were looking for a little privancy and typical teenagers with feelings. So way dont all the other couples storm into the heads office and force them to bring the kids back... They are not immoral as never bullied, distrupted lessons, hurt others etc. All the did was make love & most likely were in love. Its repression that leads to honour killings, forced arranged marriages, bukas and magdelen laundry abuse like EXECUTING 13 YEAR OLDS GIRLS FOR HAVING SEX… DEATH BY STONING THE MOST VIOLENT, AGONISING AND SCARY WAY… SEE VIDEO AFTER LINK http://www.iran-press-service.com/ips/articles-2004/october/izadi_161004.shtml DEFFINETELY SEE THIS ALL THE WAY THOUGH TO THE END IMAGINE THE SCREAMS AND USE A STOPWATCH Clear video stoning http://www.apostatesofislam.com/media/stoning.htm YOUNG TEEN GIRL BEING STONED TO DEATH WHICH LASTWED 30 MIN TILL SHE DIED http://www.jebar.info/yazidivedio/bisaba... http://www.jebar.info/yazidivedio/video-... http://www.jebar.info/yazidivedio/016.3g... http://www.jebar.info/yazidivedio/1.3gp.... http://www.jebar.info/yazidivedio/2.3gp.... http://www.jebar.info/yazidivedio/3.3gp.... http://www.aina.org/news/20070425181603.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/ar... http://www.ekurd.net/mismas/articles/mis... http://www.apostatesofislam.com/media/st...

NASTY TREATMENT OF GIRLS http://www.buzzpatrol.com/links/polish-high-school-student-expelled-for-playboy-shoot/ 'The Magdelen Sisters' should be in your video shop but the tv drama 'sinners' was more accurate if you can find it. over 30,000 were involved up till 1996...how old were you at that time? How many of your friends, you or your sister could have ended up here. Abusing, raping, and ripping the babies from the arms of 30,000 girls up to just 10 years ago http://www.thewildgeese.com/pages/magdalen.html http://www.netreach.net/~steed/magdalen.html http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0380703/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/drama/sinners/interviews/annemarie.shtml ********************* so why dont all the couples storm into the heads office and force him to reinstate thier friends who did not bully or hurt anyone and want to learn. Why should they loose schooling for teachers perverted relgious so called moral attiudes of abuse? If the teacher was any good or the Head ... Why did they simply not teel the kids ... Look making love is a wonderful thing and its great you have somone to be close to... But please find somewhere other then the classrooms? And make sure the girl gets a morning after pill if needed, full sex ed for both, gets goes stright on a depro injection and if the couples ever cuaght without condoms instant detention and not together. Plus councelling for both if and wehn relationship turns sour. Surely helping to develop social and relationship lives and maturity should be part of the parental aspects of a boarding school to develop happy balanced future adults? ***************************************** I DON'T NORMALLY READ THE SUN. WAS STUCK DOING PROMO WORK BY THE PAPERS AND PICKED IT UP ALONG WITH THE REST. i REMEBERSED THE STROY BUT COULD NOT REMEBER WHICH PAPER SO WENT THOUGHT THE WEBSITES TO FIND THE ARTICAL. BUT SEEN THESE KINDS OF STORIES BEFORE LIKE ONE WHERE TEACHERS KICKED DOWN A STUDENTS DORM DOOR TO CATCH THE COUPLE... 16 AND 17 OVER AGE OF CONCENT, THEN RUIN THIER EDUCATION. Due to repressive abusive relgious attiudes **************** Tracy the listing of honour killings etc is showing how the head teacher thinks. he is NOT operating in the students best interests like all who think like that. He is operating on the same principles as those who stone teenage girls to death for making love. And therefore probably supports such attitudes. You mention loose morals... Whats immoral about being in love? and making love? its part of life and a nice part and perfectly moral as long as not hurting anyone like no rape or forced arranged marriage. As said no mention of the kids dealing crack or bullying others... thats immoral. As for stds and pregnancies... ever hear of condoms, the contraceptive injection... The teachers job in care of teenagers is to make sure they know all there is bto know about sex ed and realtioships so no emotional problems or pregnancies or stds as they know what they are doing like any 24 year olds in a married couple. And loco parentalis WOULD INCLUDE ALL THE SUPPORT NEEDED FOR THEM TO DEVELOP EMOTIONALLY AND SOCIALLY. I WOULD BE HORRIFIED IF i HAD A KID WHO WAS SHY AND CRYING THEMSELVES TO SLEEP AS THEY COULD NOT GET PEOPLE THEY HAD FEELINGS TO DATE THEM, i WOULD BE TERRIFIED THEY WOULD END UP ANNOREXIC, BULEMIC, BE SELF HARMING, NEED COUNCELLING OR END UP KILLING THEMSELVES AS THINK THEY WERE GOING TO BE ALONE FOREVER I would want to meet the boy girl making my duaghter son so happy Actually pretty much all teenagers will be having sex... for them home is the school as a boarding school. QUOTE if your parents caught you having sex in your room at home what would they do, pat you on the back or blow their top? LIKE MY SISTER AND HUSBAND WHO USED TO LIVE TOGETHER AT OUR HOUSE AS COULD NOT AFFORD OWN PLACE TILL MARRIED? IN 20s. If I was the parents after intial shock I would want an introduction and apologise for embarrasing them like the opening scene in American Pie too. having thoughly sex ed them from childhood so no std/pregnancy worries. Plus be worried if by 17 were not sexaully active or at least dating by 16 ********************************* Addtional Tracey... You missed out on the they are at boarding school. Therefore school is home. Plus a lot safer then some woods somewhere as they are a bit young to have their own flat. Why the level of feeling? As unlike your son who is not 'sorted' for life. I missed out on those critical years the result being now in 30s NEVEr having had any realtioship over a few weeks of dating post snog/one night stand in a club. Never being with anyone I loved so a lifetime of pain. Seen the damage done to others... The years late 15-17 are much like the first few minutes on the titanic after the iceberg. those who got to the boats early were fine. Those who waited rapidly find out they cannot compete with others with more experience then them. Who have a foundation in confidence, self esteem and getting the rookie stuff out of the way as say waiting a few years everyone will have high standards. 16 year olds will NEVER mature into confident 24 year olds able to have normal realtioships... a 24 with no experience can only date a 16 year old with no experience to match up... Only by then that wont be accepted so they life will be alone. QUOTE Also why should young girls be filling their bodies full of chemicals such as contraceptive injection and morning after pill BEATS BEING PREGNANT. Plus your pressure to conform and catch up occures no matter what. And most of any job has nothing to do with education. its all social realtioship and social political competion skills...ALL only come in sexaul relationships as a teenger. Those in them thoguh close realtisohips get those selling. pursuasion skils as linked to flirt skills gained in realtioships and the ability to read people. So no social development skills no career either... No social acceptance in uni if you cant pull, or at work. As you are only allowed to be a rookie 15-17. its like a gateway... go one way happy life, go the other or wait you miss the boat and screwed for life. Am grown up... Hence the attiudes ********************* Addit to tracey No sex no relationships. girls dont like rookies and you end up like What I think is sad is people like the man on Virgin School who were so desperate that he paid a stranger to teach him how to make love. As said you have no idea as you started 17, your son 16... Both in the brackets of rookie age I mentioned hence you having your loving life. No not a virgin. But your typical 17 year old done more. Likewise what would you know about life if always been with someone. Therefore you can have no idea on the opposite If you dont start well you will be needy. if needy you cant get a girlfreind or date. Its much like the poor stay poor and rich get richer, forming vicious circles you cant escape. If you 16/17 and a rookie... fine so is everyone else... not so in 20s **** quote basically I disagree with your statement that the headteacher should be beaten and then you blaming all those other crimes on people who dont encourage children to sleep together. They cause pain, far more then any bully could so should feel it EVERYDAY You accumulate life points... Either warmth, love, affection, being wanted. Or rejection, hate, bitterness, pain and anger quote WTF!!!! Boarding schools have a responsibitlity as every school to put the childrens welfare first. Of course they arent going to let their pupils sleep around! What colour is the sky on your planet? No they probably werent in love they were over run with hormones Helping them with first relationships to see first times run smoothly and as safe as possible IS LOOKING AFTER THEIR WEALFARE EMOTIONAL, PYSCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICALLY. Preventing future needs for councelling and so the girls wont be dependant on dating agenecies and the guys not dependant on porn or hookers for the closest to any affection they will ever get. QUOTE Of course they arent going to let their pupils sleep around! What colour is the sky on your planet? ERM OVER THE AGE OF CONSENT OR JUST UNDER & LEGAL HUMAN AND WILL HAVE HOMRONES AND SEX NO MATTER WHAT. Im saying be the mentor & agony aunt, shoulder to cry on and cupid as a parent should be My planet is earth the one where teenagers around 16 always have had sex and always will do... AND ILL BLOODY WELL BUT THE HYPOCRITCAL TOSSER TEACHERS DID EXACTLY THAT UNLESS THE KIDS NOBODY WANTED TO BE WITH SO ARE JEALOUS ******************************************* Lozy... Rules included whereing yellow stars if a jew and obeying soldiers walking you to death camps. Gays were not allowed to be together. Black people werent allowed to keep their seats if a white peron wanted them Children used to be executed for stealing food.

The listing of honour killings etc is showing how the head teacher thinks. He is NOT operating in the students best interests like all who think like that.

A PARENTS JOB IS TO PREPARE THEIR KID FOR LIFE THAT INCLUDES RELATIONSHIPS IT INCLUDES SEX. ANY DECENT PARENT WOULD WANT THEIR POST 16 YEAR OLD OLD CHILDREN HAVING SEX UNDER THEIR ROOF BEFORE UNIVERSITY. So the parents can be there fore them to do their job of helping them deal with all the issues and feelings and problems surrounding sexaul actitity inc what to do when relationships break up. And at home you know the kid is safe. Stds and pregnancy should not be a problem if sex educated properly and any responsibile parent would already have put a kid on depro injection from the age of around 13 in preparation for this. IF THE TEENAGERS CANNOT HAVE PHYICAL INTIMACEY THEN ALL MARRIAGES AND FAMILES OF STAFF SHOULD NOT EITHER.. As for rules. Sorry that went out with the ONly obeying orders Yellow stars on jews, no black people allowed on busses if whites wanted seats How about islamic law that would have the kids stoned to death for sex outside marriage as seen in the link above. sO NO RULES ARE NOT RULES. THEY SCHOOL WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THE KIDS BEING BULLIES, PUTTING OTHERS IN UNJUSTIFIED DANGER ETC. INFACT IF A TEACHER i WOULD TEACH THEM ABOUT THE 60S CIVIL RIGHTS MOVIEMENTS AND UNION, THE POWER OF THE MOB AND STICKING UP FOR EACH OTHER. AND HAVE THIS COMPARED TO WHEN GAYS USED TO BE ARRESTED

Answer:
dont really think physical sex was on the curriculum there is a time and place for everything thats nothing to do with repression dont even try to compare the pilght of young muslim girls

Bullying Self Harm And Suicide Question: 4


running away..or suicide?

i feel so trapped.. i was raped by some one i trusted, another person i trusted [a friend], told everyone personal secrets.. so i am not very good at trusting people.. also my father hurts me when he comes home.. well i'll just say i get an awful lot of bruises. i hate school, i get bullied alot.. i have stopped self harming at the monent, but i am finding it really hard to cope i really want to run away from everything, should i run away, or commmit suicide? ohh and no - one evar found out about the rape ..so its trapped in my mind and i am scared he might do it again..

Answer:
you should talk to someone that you can trust. It might be a nurse at school or a counselor. Or someone on a child abuse hot line. Check your phone book. There is a lot of help available to you that does not involve the two alternatives you mentioned. Suicide is never a good way out and running away can expose you to many many dangers. I really beg you to talk to someone.

Bullying Self Harm And Suicide Question: 5


Teenage suicides?!?

My last rant on this subject. The Lancet has published facts that boys aged 15 - 17 are commiting suicide at a rate 18 times higher when they are incarcerated in Young Offenders Institutes in the UK. Attempts at suicide are now at 45% higher than on the outside. Girls of the same age (15 - 17) are at 22% higher suicide rate, whilst self harming is now at a rate of 67% higher than those on the outside. Bullying by staff and fellow inmates, drugs, and low self esteem are quoted as the main reasons. I have one question only - Who is watching the watchers? Comments please.

Answer:
Just curious to know if you work in corrections? These are horrible statistics. Something needs to be done for sure. Although I believe strongly in being punished accordingly for your crimes I wish so badly that there was some way or somehow they can figure out to actually rehabilitate these young ones so hopefully they will not doing something worse when they become adults.

bed wetting at 15?

i am now 15 and im turning 16 in feb, and i have a problem with bed wetting its getting me bullied and i have been going through a rough time lately and ive even thought bout suicide and i self harm aswell and i dnt kno wat to do... my little brother bullys me for it and i cant stand it i jus want to kill myself and i am scared im going to..... help me please... no nasty comments... xx

Answer:
Please get help--if you are thinking about suicide, this is a very serious thing. Please consider calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or talk to an adult you trust right away. As far as the bed-wetting, it could be a reaction to stress, or it could be some sort of minor medical issue. I would suggest that you go see your family doctor, as (s)he can almost certainly help.

Bullying Self Harm And Suicide Question: 8


what can i do ?

i am 13 and all i do is sit in my room and got to school in the week and on the weekends see friends from other schools and sleep.i self harm(cutting) and have a problem controlling my anger.i get bullied and dont fit in at school.my family abuse me physically and sexually.i have attempted suicide once but couldnt do it and called an ambulance.i spend half my time crying.i cant take the pain anymore what can i do?

Answer:
The obvious answer would be to find a counselor that you can talk to and help you work through your problems. Another idea is to find something physically draining to do that you enjoy. Know that you are not alone and most everybody has been a victim of abuse in some way or another. It is really terrible that it was your own family...people you are supposed to be able to trust and rely on. You need to make your own family and friends now...good people that can understand you and help you become a good person. Maybe you can help other people that have been through the same things. I personally do not feel that cutting is harmful. It is the anger and emotional pain behind the cutting that is the most harmful. It's a way of trying to change the emotional pain into physical pain. Please do get some kind of help or this will ruin your life. It already will be a part of your life forever and will affect decisions you make in the future but if you can find a way to work through it, you will be a better person...a person that you can like. At school, join clubs or volunteer or something to help you make friends. I was a quiet, shy person in school and I found out at my reunion that some ppl thought I was stuck up. They didn't know I was shy and some ppl that I thought didn't like me, actually did and we are good friends now and can laugh at how we were in school. Don't presume to know what other ppl think of you unless they've told/shown you first-hand. Bullies should not get away with what they do. You SHOULD report them but I know that is something hard to do at your age. Talk to the school counselor. That's what they are there for!!! It's hard but you have to take that step in order to get better.

Bullying Self Harm And Suicide Question: 9


I need help or just someone to talk to?

Okay.. I'n 15 and have been bullied about many things since the age of 4 (as soon as i started primary school) it continued into my secondary school where other students in my class started a new way of how they were going to do it and started saying that i'm a lesbian, (which i am not) and getting girls in my class to touch me and pretend i'm their girlfriend and things.

Bullying Self Harm And Suicide Question: 10


how to cope with unhappiness??

depression is such a strong word but it's how i feel.im 15 so i suppose its normal but why do i have to go home and cry for hours at a time? im freakishly ugly and get bullied a lot for it. my nose is huge and im full of freckles with a rubbish figure. self-harm has become a common problem with me and i've been throwing my meals away and losing weight but it makes me feel better. no-one knows about this because i get called a self obsessed attention seeker when i mention it to my parents. i've seriously considered suicide recently but it might be a step too far! what can i do?

    I’m 20 years old and I have a disabled younger brother, lately he’s been coming home crying letting me know that everyone in his school bullies him. This is very difficult for me to see and hear, when I was in elementary school I too was bullied. I want to talk to schools about the effects that bullies have on others but I don’t know how to go about doing it? Any advice?

    hiya. have you ever heard of bully free zone? its an organisation that helps people who get bullied. i think they go into schools and talk about being bullied and things like that. if there is an organisation round where you live you could join it and tell other people about your experiences and help children or whatever age you want to talk to you could give all the advice you want to :) i hope ive gave you some ideas.
