4 Truths You Need to Know About Bullying

  • MYTH: Bullying is normal—just a rite of passage.
    TRUTH: Bullying is inexcusable and should never be dismissed as "kids being kids." It can cause significant emotional and psychological harm, leading to school absences, depression, suicidal thoughts, and even perpetuating the cycle of bullying.

  • MYTH: Bullying is obvious and easy to identify.
    TRUTH: Bullying often goes unnoticed because victims (and bystanders) may feel too ashamed or embarrassed to report it, believing it’s their fault or being paralyzed by fear. Bullies frequently employ subtle yet harmful tactics that are severe, threatening, and persistent.

  • MYTH: Bullying is not that serious.
    TRUTH: Bullying encompasses any intentional, hostile, physical, psychological, or verbal actions involving a power imbalance with the intent to harm and instill fear. It represents ongoing abuse that fosters an intimidating or terrorizing environment.

  • MYTH: Bullies are underachievers with low self-esteem and are easily identifiable.
    TRUTH: Many bullies appear "normal" and can mask their behavior with a façade of friendship. They often project an image of popularity through their use of power and may themselves have been victims of bullying.
