"Adult bullies target their victims in many of the same way children who bully do. While many people think that bullying only occurs amongst children, it can also happen in the workplace among adults."



The quote above is directly from Stop a Bully-Characteristics of Adult Bully Targets. It is what I have been experiencing these last two months, when my little boy and I became victims to a neighbor bully.





Characteristics of Bullies

Intimidation

Power domination

Controlling and manipulating

Physically aggressive behavior

Think they are the center of the universe

Pick on vulnerable people

Characteristics of Victims

Loner

Socially isolated

Physically small or weak

Different race, or ethnicity

Quiet, polite, and keep to oneself

My son introduced her son as neighbor

My son didn't invite her son to his birthday party

My son didn't look at her son when he has to run in the house to take a pee

I'm a bad mother for not making my son share his friends with her son

I didn't teach my son the right thing to do because I allow him to choose who he wants at his birthday party

I have nothing to do, so I should hang out with her everyday
