Whether you want to believe it or not, bullies are generally your friends and this is knowledge that most bully prevention tips and strategies do not equip you with. While not a single one of us wants to believe that one of our closest friends could bully us, the truth of the matter is that it can happen. Bullying alone is a serious matter, but it becomes even more serious when it is one of your friends attacking you.
Have you ever been bullied by a friend? Are you currently being bullied by an individual within your close circle of friends? If so, you should ask yourself the following questions:
What are the important factors that lay the foundation for a strong, solid friendship? Most individuals will say that they need trust and respect in addition to loyalty.
Do my friends meet the factors that I outlined in question 1? Based on your own answers to the first question, are your friends meeting the needs of what you need in a friendship?
If your friends are not meeting your friendship standards, why are you friends with this person? Is it really worth it? Without the ability to trust your friends, there is really no friendship there. Further, if your friends can't respect you and your wishes, then they aren't really friends, are they? Your action now is to determine why you are friends with someone that does not meet your requirements of a strong friendship.
Maybe some days your friends are nice to you, but others they are not. Do you simply hope that the bullying will stop because they are your friend and they'll eventually turn around?
You can't simply sit around waiting, hoping and praying that you friends will stop bullying you. You need to take matters into your own hands, take the power from your friends, and embark on another road. If your friend is your friend, there is no reason that he/she should bully you. A friendship is about trust, respect and loyalty in addition to any other factors that a particular individual may look for, but those are the three most common and most needed.
If you are an adult or an educator trying to help a child deal with their friend being a bully then you need to jot down the above-mentioned four questions and provide them to the child in need. You are more than welcome to help them answer the questions; however, you need to make certain that the child answers the questions on their own. By coming up with the answers on their own, the realization that their friend really is a bully and that the friendship isn't really worth it will be much easier to come by than if you were to tell the child the same thing.
