How to Tell If Your Child Is Being Bullied

 

Students who are bullied have changes in behavior that can be identified by their parents, caregivers, or teachers. Behavior and personality are affected by the stress produced by the harasser's stresses. The feeling of threat and indefecationparalyzes the victim, filling her with helplessness and being unable to ask for help.

Many times those children are threatened, so they are afraid to tell what is happening to them, even to their parents. Therefore, it is important that you maintain constant communication with your child and know the main signs that indicate that he could be suffering bullying.

Let's look at some indicators that may suggest that a student isbeing bullied.

1. Mood swings

If you notice that in recent times your child is more sad, stressed and / or anxious than usual, it is likely that he has some problem. In fact, in cases of bullying it is common for sudden mood swings to occur for no apparent reason, for the child to get angry, irritated, frustrated or easily agitated by any stimulus.

2. Decreased school performance

When the child is being bullied and has to deal day after day with fear, it is difficult for him to continue concentrating on his studies, so his school performance usually decreases.

3. Negative attitude towards school

In many cases, children do not talk openly about what happens to them but express their discomfort through general phrases. If the child has never had problems before and starts saying he "hates school" or makes excuses not to go, such as pretending to be sick, he is likely to have a problem at school.

4. Loss or increase in appetite

In some cases, bullying and harassment generate such emotional distress that the child loses his appetite. In other cases the opposite can happen since stress can also exacerbate appetite.

5. Arrive home with broken belongings

It is likely that children who bully your child steal or break some of their school supplies, so if on more than one occasion they have come home with their broken things and do not want to explain what has happened, it may be a case of bullying.

6. Decreased self-esteem

Bullying and bullying deeply damage children's self-esteem. When the child is ridiculed or beaten and feels helpless and powerless, it is normal for him to begin to think that he is not strong or intelligent enough to cope with the aggression. That's why it's important to pay attention to the phrases your child uses to refer to himself.

7. Changes in your social circle

Si tu hijo de repente no quiere frecuentar a su grupo de amigos o notas que ya no invita a nadie a casa, quizá está siendo víctima del acoso escolar. De hecho, se ha apreciado que los niños más vulnerables son precisamente aquellos más retraídos y con menos habilidades sociales ya que el grupo de amigos actúa como un agente protector.

8. Negarse a asistir a las actividades extraescolares

El acoso suele ser aún más intenso en las actividades extraescolares ya que los niños no tienen la supervisión constante del maestro. Por eso, si de repente tu hijo comienza a rechazarlas, es probable que algún compañero le esté molestando.

9. Comportamiento autodestructivo

Algunos niños dirigen contra sí mismos la frustración, el resentimiento y la ira que causa el acoso. Como resultado, pueden comenzar a manifestar comportamientos autodestructivos, como escapar de casa o infringirse heridas que intentarán esconder usando pantalones o camisas de manga larga.

10. Se siente mal después de haber navegado por Internet

En la actualidad muchos casos de intimidación y acoso se llevan a cabo a través de las redes sociales, sobre todo cuando los niños ya son mayorcitos. Por eso, es importante que le prestes atención a su reacción cuando recibe un mensaje o cuando termina de navegar por Internet.
