When Your Targeted by the Bully?

The main reason it is important to identify the warning signs of bullying is so that we can take action. If we know what signals something may be happening and how to get help for the child or children who are being bullied, we can help them make a safe exit from the situation and keep themselves and others safe. Some common warning signs of bullying include: -being left out or ignored by peers or group members -becoming outspokenly rebellious, moody, or withdrawn -feeling like they have little control over their own lives -changing overnight from being someone who is friendly and participative to someone who withdraws into themselves -repeating symbolic gestures such as removing one's favourite book or toy, turning down invitations to play with friends, etc.

One sign that a partner might be a bully is when they control who you know, who you contact, how you dress and how you act. This can be done through verbal threats or emotional blackmail. It can also mean restricting your activities or keeping tight rein on finances. If you feel like you are being constantly monitored andcontrolled, it may be time to move on.

The tone and language used in a bully's conversation will reflect their attitude and intended target.

There is no surefire answer, as bullying can be a subtle and gradual process. However, some key signs to watch out for include feeling constantly picked on orushed; feeling scared or alone in school or at work; being left out of activities or conversations; dwindling self-confidence; being subjected to cyberbullying (for example, receiving mean comments online). If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to speak to an adult about what's going on.

The signs of bullying in children with disabilities may include: being afraid to go to school, being afraid of walking to and from school, being afraid of riding the school bus, or taking part in organized activities with peers.
