2. TIPS
Myth #1: Bullying is just a normal part of the growing up experience!
Are you kidding me! How can living in constant fear of psychological abuse and
physical attacks be a normal part of growing up? Bullying is not "normal" or
acceptable social behavior and should never be ignored or tolerated under any
circumstances!
Myth #2: Asking for help or simply telling someone will make the problem
even worse!
As difficult as asking for help may seem to do at the time, research has shown that
bullying will only stop when caring adults (parents, relatives, friends) or adults in
authority (teachers, principals, police) and peers (classmates) get involved.
Myth #3: Don't be a coward. You need to stand up to the bully and hit them
back!
Hmmm, I have to wonder how many of us, especially with bullied boys, are guilty of
this one! Given the fact that in most situations the bully is bigger and stronger, or
has a gang with him/her, there is a big risk that fighting back will make things even
worse and may lead to the serious injury of the bullied person. Research has shown
that learning to live with bullying does NOT make children tougher. Instead it may
cause low self-esteem and a lack of self-worth in the bullied child.

Myth #4: Bullying only happens at school, so let the education
system deal with it!
News flash! Bullying does not occur only in the school setting. This kind of
harassment is found almost everywhere people, both children and adults,
gather to learn, play, or work.
Myth #5: Some people are just born to bully others! Just the way it
is!
A rather silly argument when you stop to think about it. How can that
sweet new born baby lying in its crib be labelled as a future bully? Bullying
is a behavior that is learned through life experience and observations.
Therefore this behavior can be changed or unlearned.
Myth #6: Some people deserve to be bullied!
It amazes me that in this day and age there are people, both kids and
adults, that really believe this! Granted we all have met people who for a
variety of reasons may "rub us the wrong way", still they do not deserve
to be verbally or physically harmed in any manner.

Myth #7: Words will never hurt you!
Ever heard of emotional scars? Yes, words alone don't lead to bruises or
broken bones that heal in time. Emotional scars may last a lifetime, thereby affecting
the targeted person for years and years after the bullying incidences. This makes
verbal bullying more dangerous to some victims than physical abuse.
Myth #8: It was only teasing!
This simple statement may be one of the most used methods by bullies to
justify their actions. Teasing with the intent to do harm or hurt the other party is
considered bullying! This is a far different type of teasing than "good natured"
teasing between friends and peers, when all is being done in fun, and both parties
realize this.
Myth #9: Bullying is just a form of Conflict!
Wrong! Bullying is about the misuse of power that one person has over another and
is generally repeated over time. Conflict is a disagreement or even a fight between
individual or groups that is not based on an imbalance of power between the parties
involved. Solving conflicts may involve each party meeting halfway and accepting
some of the blame for the incident and working things out to solve the problem. In
bullying, there is no "shared blame", between the bully and the target. Bullying is
wrong, and no one deserves this treatment!
