Parents should teach their children to report bullying without shame.
Oku.Az Psychologist Larisa Ovcharenko informed Gazeta.ru about this.
He noted that adults should support and advise children rather than dealing with the bully themselves.
“It’s something you have to share with someone. You have to talk about it with adults. It’s going to be difficult for teenagers, especially, because they feel it’s embarrassing to talk about someone who pushes you, harasses you, takes your money, makes fun of you. from you. And it seems that telling parents that they hurt me is like I have to deal with it myself. No. He is older, he has the resources. Again, it is necessary to talk about it: with friends older than you, with people with whom you can discuss it, with the class teacher. It is not shameful to talk about it and, of course, with the parents, but not with the future parent to school and beat the bully, in this case to think together about how to behave, how to get out of this situation. “The child needs someone to trust in this situation,” he said.

“Often, children with underdeveloped communication networks, shy, distrustful, neuropsychological and with self-defense difficulties due to their personal characteristics become violent. And therefore, when these children receive a sufficient number of aggressive attacks from you, They withdraw into themselves. We tell children: “Find someone you can talk to about this,” at least the school psychologist, someone they can confide in, this is clear. Children have the feeling that no one will believe them, they will not fight for them, that is why it is important for the child to know that help will come to them,” he added.
The psychologist added that it is necessary to teach the child to stop contact with the aggressor and to resist.
