Bullying among children has become a hot topic.
There are innumerable websites devoted to stopping bullying in schools. In addition, many studies have been done detailing the effects of bullying among young people.
Adult bullying doesn’t receive the same amount of press. But it has been found that the social form of bullying doesn’t stop at childhood, but continues into adulthood. The same sorts of activities associated with childhood bullying are present in adults. Social bullying actions include:
- Targeting a person’s social status to tear it down
- Damaging a person’s relationships by shunning
- Damaging a person’s reputation by spreading rumors
- Excluding a person from social activities
Both childhood and adult bullying can cause Anxiety Disorders and depression.
