2. Are there differences in bullying
experiences of boys and girls?
The differences that comes to my mind first is
that, I think boys are being bullied more on
physically and on the other girls are being
bullied more on verbally.
3. Who do children tell when they are being
bullied?
I think they mostly tell it to their close friends
or relative.
4. Does bullying cause problems in later
years?
Of course because it will cause trauma to the
victim that would last for a lifetime.
5. If you have witness this scenario, what can
you do?
Tell the bully to stop his/her action
immediately and offer some help to the victim
and report the incidence.
