November 14, 2009 Bullying: The Truth, the Myths and What We Can Do About It!! There are two types
of bullying: physical and verbal. Physical is, of course, when a child is hit, tripped, pushed or beaten up. However, bullies
have become smarter and therefore most offenses are accomplished verbally. Verbal abuse is something we rarely discuss, yet
it is the most damaging form of violence. We need to recognize that this type of abuse leaves the longest lasting and most
severe scars. When someone uses words to attack others it is often overlooked as insignificant. However, hearing these words
can get into the mind, heart, and attitudes of the victim toward themselves and others. These words leave unseen marks on
the psyche. Bullies tend to use words more than any type of physical contact. Verbal abuse and physical abuse come from the
same place, that of control and violence. When we as adults ignore this kind of abusive behavior we leave our children victims
of this vilonce. Come join us as we develop tools
and strategies to prevent this violence from harming all of our children.
