Preventing Stess for Teens Affected by Bullying

Bullying is an aggressive act that can be physical, verbal or relational. These behaviors may occur continuously and over a long period of time. Physical bullying includes actions such as hitting, kicking and pushing. Theft, vandalism, bullying, and harassment include physical bullying.

In addition, verbal bullying also includes taunts, insults, and name-calling. Relationship bullying, on the other hand, includes refusing to talk to your partner, keeping your partner away from groups, friends, and family, spreading lies and rumors about your partner, and doing things that your partner doesn't like.

People who have experienced bullying tend to live in constant fear. Young people are the most at risk of being bullied or becoming bullies. This is because teenagers tend to be impulsive, emotional, and have immature personalities. The impact of bullying on adolescents can be enormous.

Adolescence is a period of human growth. It is a period of change or transition from childhood to adulthood which includes biological, psychological and social changes.

Therefore, parents, teachers and close relatives should provide support and cooperation to prevent bullying among teenagers.

Here are some tips for teenagers who have experienced bullying:

 

A. An Exercise

Exercise is not only good for your physical health. In fact, it is also good for your mental health. It can increase endorphins and boost your mood. In addition, exercise can reduce levels of the hormone cortisol, which can cause stress.

B. Talk to someone you trust

Teenagers who have been bullied often find it difficult to speak up because they are too afraid of the bully. However, make sure to discuss your problem with someone you trust. This can give you a lot of support and sometimes even be a good outlet for the anxiety and frustration that comes with bullying.

C. Pursue a hobby

The more time you spend doing activities that make you happy, the less focused you will be on your problems. You can pursue your favorite hobbies, play sports, and hang out with friends who don't bully you. This method can also reduce bullying situations among bullies.

D.Finding a True Friend who is Truly Loyal.

If you have experienced bullying, talk to a true friend and get help. This will help you feel safe and protected. Don't be alone, especially when bullying happens. Besides your friends, you can also contact your teachers and talk to your parents.

E. Listen to music

Heart. This activity can also be used as therapy to prevent stress and depression.
