What is true when studying a large number of students may not necessarily apply to every individual case of bullying. This means that children who are not particularly shy or insecure or who have good self-esteem can also be bullied.Although the majority of bullied students are non-aggressive, withdrawn, and shy, there are also those among the bullied students who are aggressive themselves. In particular, %u201cexplosiveness%u201d, which manifests itself as difficulty in regulating one%u2019s own anger and the aggressive reactions it causes, increases a child%u2019s risk of being bullied. A small proportion of bullied children may also bully others themselves. Due to their own aggressiveness and disruptive behavior, peers feel that bullying such children is understandable, even justified.Often, children themselves explain that the reason for bullying is that the person being bullied is %u201cso annoying%u201d, acts strangely in social situations, is considered %u201ccheeky%u201d by others, talks too much, ruins other people%u2019s games, or something similar. However, it is important to understand that bullying is always wrong; it is disrespectful treatment that no one deserves. Although you don%u2019t have to be friends with everyone, you can learn to get along with everyone. If someone is acting in a way that really bothers you, you can tell an adult or leave the scene %u2013 bullying is not the solution.
