solitary kids who prefer to be
alone. They are shy, and
repressed and have difficulty
talking about their problems.

Bullying?
There are a lot of things in life that we learn by experience, bullying is
one of them. We usually believe that our behavior is learnt at home but
there are a lot of different factors that can push a kid into
bullying. Let´s see some of them:
Lack of limits:
When a child or a teenager doesn´t get scolded, they can think that
their acts have no consequences and finally get used to believing they
can do anything they want, because they will not be punished.
Bullied turned into a bullier:
The fear of being attacked can convert many kids into bulliers, the
number of aggressors has increased for this reason.
Domestic violence:
Living in a hostile familiar context can lead a child to become
aggressive and he will probably express his anger and resentment at
school bullying his classmates
