Tremor Christ Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 This thread is inspired by Duquan from The Wire. He is bullied in school, but he comes from a broken home. No one instilled him self confidence, or even defense mechanisms to deal with external threats. It makes me think, can someone with healthy family dynamics be affected by bullying? I feel like for the most part parents, siblings are the first bullies. The bullying kids experience at school is a continuation of the pattern. What do you think?

jesus del rey Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Not necessarily. Expecting a child to stand up for themself when facing bullies is putting too much pressure on that child. Some disruptions in school life might just be that, even though the family life carries upmost importance for the development of a child, it cannot protect the child from everything.

My dad told me fighting was for people with low intelligence. I was coddled by my parents and had no idea how to deal with bullying in middle school so I just…took it.

Gladiator Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 In most cases, yes. A child comes from a broken home and it creates the instability and lack of control they feel, so they get that feeling by bullying other kids when outside of the home. But there are also plenty of bullies who don't come from broken home who become that way due to social pressures of their friend group (which has the influence of someone who is already a bully) and other reasons as well.

Devin Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Most cases of trauma, bullying, and psych challenges start at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunUpDoneUp Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 The home or lack thereof is always ground zero. Not an excuse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
