Stories about bullying are generally depressing and many of them have tragic endings. Most kids have their own bullying stories to tell and most of the time, the listeners or readers can’t help but become emotional after each story. However, it is important to know about these bullying stories in order to find out why bullying happens and how to deal with them.
Stories about bullying can be used to promote awareness of its existence even among pre-school kids. Some kids are more aggressive than their playmates, they tend to be bullies. However, if they know what bullying is and that it’s bad, they can stop themselves from doing it. It is important that at their young ages, they have a clear understanding of the types of bullying and their effects.
For example, through stories about bullying, kids will learn that taking things from their classmates without permission, excluding a classmate from joining their play, name calling and sending mean notes or text messages are types of bullying.
Bullying awareness will also make other kids call the attention of their playmates or classmates who are still acting like bullies. Educating kids that bullying is bad will most likely stop them from bullying other people as they grow older.
More of the recent stories about bullying take place at social networking sites. This type of bullying is called cyberbullying and may include hurtful or embarrassing comments on the victims’ social media accounts. Through electronic media, whatever is posted online can spread fast and the victim’s reputation can be damaged in a matter of seconds.
Stories about bullying may not be as entertaining as fairy tales but it’s important to tell young children about them.
