Psychologists says bullied kids may suffer from depression

By The Nation

 

The chief of the Mental Health Department said on Saturday that children who are bullied in school can develop depression and become paranoid.

 

Dr Boonruang Trairuangworarat, director general of the Mental Health Department, was commenting on a report that sixth graders at a school in Lop Buri on Thursday poured alcohol on the shirt of a third-grade pupil and set fire to it, injuring the young boy.

 

Boonruang said physical bullying and mental bullying, by abusing, ridiculing or ignoring others, were common in school. And now, children are also bullied in online communities.

 

Boonruang said bullied children tend to develop depression, becoming sad, paranoid and lonely. They can also suffer from sleeping and eating orders.

 

He said these symptoms can remain until they become adults. Some of them turn to abuse and bully others when they grow up. They also have the tendency to break laws and abuse their spouses physically.

 

Dr Mathurada Suwanpho, director of child and juvenile mental health at Rajanakahrin Institute, said parents and teachers must advise children how to prevent themselves from being bullied. For example, they should be told to alert their class teacher and stay among groups of friends to avoid bullies. They should also be told not to respond to the wishes of the bullies.

 

She said parents and teachers must instill a sense of morality in children before they turn 10 so they will not bully others.

So true and sad for those kids

This is news? Its so obvious. I thought everybody knew this.

 

Everybody, the bullies and the ones being bullied should learn martial arts (brazilian jui jitsu for example, nothing that gives head trauma plz). It will set the egos of the bullies straight and give them actual self esteem, not the fake stuff that makes u bully others.

It will also give the kids being bullied confidence and self-esteem.

Probably more of a public service announcement than actual news... 

 

Which I, for one, salute.

It appears as if it is news to the Thai Dr Phil's of the health profession. The Thai shrinks have only just discovered this phenomenon and are now catching up with the rest of the world.

Talking of bullying to the detriment of others. Isn't bullying a trait that pervades the military and can even carry through when the military appoint themselves as the self chosen rulers. The evidence is there.

More ridiculous reporting from The Nation. That is the newspaper that should really prohibit itself from being quoted or referenced.

Why?  The more often and widely the word gets out, the more likely people are to put a stop to bullying.

The bullied kids should all get together and collectively beat the living cr*p out of the bullies who have harassed them :) A good punch on the nose is the best education for such people !
