Often, those who are different in some way are common victims. For example, students who are shy or introverted can be targeted. Bullies might see them as easy prey. Also, students with unique interests like art or music that are not considered 'cool' in the school environment may face bullying.
Well, I know a high school bullying story. A student was bullied for being smart. His classmates thought he was a 'nerd' and would hide his books or scribble on his homework. He was so frustrated but didn't know how to stop them at first. In another case, a girl with glasses was bullied. Some students would make fun of her appearance by mimicking how she pushed up her glasses, which was really cruel.
Victims can start by blocking the bully. This stops them from directly interacting and sending more mean messages. Another way is to save evidence, like screenshots of the bullying messages. It can be useful if they need to report it. And they should talk to someone they trust, such as a teacher or a parent.
Sure. There was a boy named Tom. He was constantly made fun of for his glasses and love for books. The bullies would knock his books out of his hands in the hallway. He felt so alone and started to dread going to school. Eventually, he found a teacher who noticed and helped him.
We can learn the importance of kindness. Bullying victims often suffer because others lack basic kindness.

There was a boy who was smaller in stature. In the high school locker room, some of the bigger boys would often shove him around and steal his things. They would call him names like 'weakling'.

Well, one high school cyber bullying story is that a student started a false rumor about a classmate on an online forum. The rumor spread like wildfire and the victim was ostracized at school. People would make snide remarks to her based on the untrue rumor. Another instance involved a group of students creating a mean - spirited poll about the 'least liked' classmate on a social media platform, which really hurt the feelings of the one who got the most 'votes'.
Victims can start by talking to a trusted adult, like a teacher or a parent. They can also try to make new friends who are more positive. For example, joining a club or activity where they can meet like - minded people.
