Bullying is a serious issue that can deeply affect a person’s mental health, self-esteem, and academic success. It can happen in person or online and often goes unnoticed or unspoken. That’s why it’s essential to recognize the signs and know how to respond — for yourself or someone else 💪

🚩 Common signs of bullying

Bullying can be verbal, physical, psychological, or digital. Here are some warning signs to watch for:

• Insults and mockery: hurtful, humiliating, or sarcastic comments
• Threats and intimidation: blackmail, fear of retaliation, or pressure to stay silent
• Social exclusion: being deliberately left out of groups, events, or conversations
• Cyberbullying: offensive messages, posts, or images shared online or via social media
• Physical aggression: hitting, pushing, or damaging personal belongings
• Rumors and defamation: spreading false or harmful information to damage reputation
• Dominating behavior: attempts to control, scare, or silence someone

🛠️ What to do if you’re affected

Whether you’re a victim or a witness, here’s how you can take action:

• 📝 Document the incidents: note dates, locations, people involved, and save screenshots or messages if possible
