Bullying Prevention Awareness 21 Why do people bully? While there’s no one reason, there are a few common root causes. Anger or frustration In some instances, children and adults bully as a way of expressing their feelings toward their own problems such as issues at home or academic struggles.This often occurs when children don’t have the tools or necessary support to know how to express themselves appropriately. Attention deficit Another common reason is seeking attention - this typically occurs when children don’t feel as though they get enough attention at home, in school, or from their peers. In these instances, bullying is an attention-seeking behavior. Low self-esteem Sometimes, when people have insecurities about themselves, they turn their attention toward targeting and bullying someone else. This is often a mechanism that helps the bully deflect attention away from themselves. INVESTIGATING BULLYING AT SCHOOL cont’d Image - freepik.com
