Bullying erodes health, as long as you are dead and it hurts Image campaign against cyber bullying, for the safety of children on the Internet and other new media ACTS leave visible signs of bullying on the victim, even after many years. The longer you have been the target of bullies and their bullying, is the most profound and lasting impact on their overall health, both physical and mental. To confirm this is actually a new Children’s Hospital Boston study published in the journal Pediatrics coordinated by Laura Bogart. For this action as soon as possible when a guy is the victim of attacks of this kind can make a difference.

Anxiety and depression lurking.
Recently, a study by the Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, had pointed out that victims of bullying are experiencing a trauma that will not disappear but will they start growing, however, look forward to a future of adults with depressive disorders, panic attacks and even suicidal. This new study of almost 4300 children and adolescents whose mental and physical health was monitored for several years, show that the consequences of bullying bullies persist for years and are all the more serious as long as the child was harassed by fellow bullies. The victim and humiliation. The reactions to this type of aggression depend on several factors, explains Anna Oliverio Ferraris, a psychologist and psychotherapist and author of the newly published book Counts on me, to grow relationships . “It depends on the severity of the violence, either physical or verbal. From the interpretation that gives the victim, or if you feel humiliated, isolated, targeted because he thinks he claims, or if you think that the problem is not in him or her but the bullies – says Oliverio Ferraris -. From chance to talk to someone you trust and get rid of stress, guilt, feelings of shame and inadequacy. Often the victim does not speak with anyone bullying or harassment victim who suffers for not feeling twice: the first because it really is and the second not to appear weak and battered victim and then in the eyes of others. “

Bullying in time. When the harassment in the last time, the trauma for the abuses suffered, for example, in elementary school is going to be added to that inflicted by the harassment of high school. This will ruin your physical and mental health of the young and eroding her self-esteem. The victims are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depressive disorders and are less sport, can not even in the race, probably because they feel uncomfortable, they lose self-esteem. “The attacks are more difficult to forget the sexual ones, those that take place in public, those in which no one intervenes in defense thus validating the status of inferiority and loneliness of the victim – adds Oliverio Ferraris -. Detraction, contempt, devaluing judgments on their appearance physical or his family, which circulate and are sharing, they can create a sense of utter helplessness in the victim to the point of wanting to disappear. “

It would take a friend.
School and family can do much to help your kids, especially with a job to prevent bullying, providing tools to combat it. “We must not be

violent but it is good to learn how to defend themselves. The bully chooses his victims and knows where to strike. Sometimes you just need a resolute attitude or a phrase at the right time to discourage the bully – adds Oliverio Ferraris -. Having friends is another strong point. With a little ‘exercise you can also learn and do not show fear and submission, emotions, whether expressed through the body, rapprsentano a clear signal to the bully. “
