In the report "After the Scenes: Ending Violence in Schools and Bullishness" published by UNESCO in January this year, it is said that around 20% of Albanian children are affected by bullying and violence. Figures are highest in children ages 11-13.
When referring to bullying, we generally have in mind physical violence. But remaining within this framework, other aspects of bullying are forgotten: word abuse, nicknames, threatening gestures, insults, etc. A child can suffer from bulimia even when there is no physical sign. Therefore, specialists always say that the best way to understand a child is to look at the details that are seemingly irrelevant.
In a Real Simple article, all cases that seem common are explained, but may be indicative that the child faces bulimia:
It does not want the things that were previously preferred: When the child loses interest in toys, foods, activities without which you can not do so, be attentive. This case may not be 100% sign of bullying, but it should be taken into consideration.
Close his accounts on social networks: Director of Cyberbullying Research Center, Justin Patchi, says that when children no longer use technology as before or social networks, then we may have a sign that he is affected by virtual bullishness. Someone who stays in Snapchat for hours, can not ignore the phone all day long.
Screams and no longer talks with friends: The jokes are normal, the children often change friendships. But the question arises: What are the causes? So you should talk to them so that you can understand the real cause.
There is "headache", abdomen, tooth etc.: Usually, children experience physical, mainly headache, when they face the stress of bullying. But sometimes they are outraged. So, when they get the justification that they do not want to go to school because they are headache, make sure they are not using it as an excuse.
It is said that he does not like himself at all: The victims of bullying have a severe lack of self-esteem; go as far as they believe the problem lies with them.
The victim turns to the "aggressor": Although it does not seem logical, experts say that the victims always end up being badly worried about the other children. If you notice that the child is aggressive, try to understand whether attacked or attacked by others.
