It is generally accepted that victims of bullying are exclusively insecure people with low self-esteem.

This is a popular myth in society. In real life, bullying at school may not even be provoked by the personality of the student, but by his actions and deeds.

Teacher Victoria Podsukhina told Lenta.ru in an interview what you really need to know about bullying.

It is not always the weak child who becomes a victim of school bullying.

The reason for this may be the student’s actions or his attitude towards others.

This means that absolutely any child, even a strong and self-confident one, can become a victim of bullying.

It is enough just to not accept the opinion of the majority.

Addressing the parents, the teacher recommends getting to the root of this problem.

It is worth remembering that bullying is primarily a manifestation of the attacker’s lack of confidence or other problems, and not the weakness of the victim.

Therefore, any student can face bullying, not just the shy and withdrawn ones.
