Bullying can take many forms. It might be physical aggression such as getting beat up, it can be verbal harassment, or relational aggression like gossip or being excluded. Whatever the form bullying takes, it can be extremely hurtful and lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide. Bullying is a real problem that can torment an adolescent. Also, with technology these days, adolescents are also susceptible to cyberbullying.
At the Bay Area Center for Adolescents, we work with victims of bullying to help them learn to be assertive in dealing with bullies, work with schools to address their bullying issues, and help parents to counteract the effects of bullying. We also work with adolescents involved in bullying to help them have empathy for their victims and deal with the issues that are leading them to bully their peers.
