Bullying (Name Calling)
According to Dictionary.com, "bullying" is "To treat in an overbearing or intimidating manner" and "overbearing" is "Overwhelming in power or significance". Given such a definition, is name calling considered an act of bullying?
The name "invented" will stay with the person (victim) for as long as the "fun" of such name calling activity stay in others' memories. Is this fair to the victim? Is this being respectful to the victim? Has it ever occur to the "predator(s)" how much emotional hurt and damage will such an activity caused to the victim? I seriouly hope that those guilty of such act(s) will reflect on their own behaviour and think in others shoe. Be responsible for your own act and apologise if there's a need to.
Even though name calling is sometimes labelled as an act of amusement or just for laughter, when it's becoming too "over" then it will not be just for fun. And this thin line of between "fun" and "victimise" is offen difficult to gauge. As such, I appeal to all those out there. Be sensitive to others!! And predator(s), discretion can never be found in such an act. PLEASE BEAR THAT IN MIND.
