Disadvantages of Bullying

I am now going to talk about the disadvantages of bullying which can hurt many people.

Mainly, bullying is caused on Social Media such as Facebook but sometimes people can be bullied at school, college or outside of school.

I am now going to mention the disadvantages of bullying:

  • Its hurtful
  • Its always repeated
  • It is hard for the one who is being bullied to stand up for themselves
  • Spreads day to day life
  • Risk of depression and suicide
  • Out of schools hands
  • It follows you
  • Larger audience
  • Not wanting to go to school
  • Your grades and performance will drop
  • Skipping school
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Complaints of illness
  • Use of alcohol and drugs
There is loads of disadvantages of bullying which can affect someone life and can cause a lot of problems.


Bullying can happen anywhere such as cities, suburbs or rural towns it all depends on the environment, some groups such as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered (LGBT) youth, youth with disabilities, and socially isolated youth.


Children at risk of being bullied:
  • Children can get bullied by being overweight or underweight, or wearing glasses
  • Children might not be weak or unable to defend themselves.
  • Children can get depressed, anxious or have low self esteem.
  • They might be less popular than others and have few friends.
  • Children might not get along well with others, they might be seen as annoying or provoking.
If a child has these risks it doesn't mean they will get bullied.


Children more likely to bully others:
There is two types of kids who are more likely to bully others:
  • Some may have a connection to people, have a social power, are overly concerned about their popularity, and like to be in charge of others.
  • Others can be more isolated from people and may get depressed or anxious, have a low self esteem, be less involved in school, can be easily pressured by people, or not identify with the emotions or feelings of others.
Children who have these factors are more likely to get bullied:
  • Are aggressive or easily frustrated.
  • Have less parental involvement or having issues at home.
  • Think badly of others.
  • Have difficulty following rules.
  • View violence in a positive way.
  • Have friends who bully others.
Mainly bullies normally go for the same person repeatedly till the bullies get what they want and go for the ones that are easy target who will kick off when something is said.
