How To Avoid Being a Target for Bullying
Rigby (2002), who is a respected researcher on the topic of bullying, nationally and internationally, states:
“Bullying involves a desire to hurt + hurtful action + a power imbalance + (typically) repetition + an unjust use of power + evident enjoyment by the aggressor and generally a sense of being oppressed on the part of the victim.” (p 51)
"Children Who Bully Look For Easy Targets"10 Signs Children May Be an Easy Target for Bullying Behavior
Research has revealed a number of characteristics and behaviors that put children at risk for victimization.*
It may not be your fault that a someone chose to be a bully, but you can do something about it to change the fact that they are bullying you. There is hope.
1. Children signally perceived vulnerability - look like an easy target, scared or weak
2. Children they think won't tell or enforce a consequence
3. Children they think they can control (usually through intimidation, mocking, threats and so on.)
4. Children who they think they can provoke a reaction - usually anger or hurt
5. Children who do not know how to deny opportunity "take the bait and fall into the trap"
6. Children who pose no consequence to them
7. Children who react with exaggerated emotion such as crying or other outbursts
8. Children who just take the abuse, seem meek or quiet
9. Children who are "loners" or tend to isolate themselves or seem withdrawn
10. Children who have difficulty making friends easily
