Advice

Being victim of verbal bullying is very hard.  Even though it takes a lot of courage, here are useful advice that may help the victims to deal with verbal bullying.

The victim should ignore the bully and stay calm because if the victim isn't reponsive, the bully will lose interest and will probably stop bullying. 

It could also be a relief and make things easier if the victim tells an authority figure about the problem and asks for help. 

The victim should also focus on his or her faithful friends to have some positive influences.  A victim who's surrounded by friends can bring verbal bullying to an end.

Finally, looking for other sources of pleasure such as hobbies, fun activities and interests can help the victim to think about positive things and to stop thinking about the bad things he or she went through.

Solutions

 
Bullies can be difficult to get over, that's why there are actions to do and not to do.
A situation very common in victims is that they always think it will stop... but they are wrong. It will only get worse unless the victim does something about it.

When being bullied, you should always speak up. This means that you should always tell a trusted adult; someone that could help you conquer and forget about this problem. Another way to show indifference to a bully is to show high self-esteem.

Facing someone who is bullying alone is the worst case scenario because bullies will bully even more due to the adrenaline you gave.

There is another problem, kids become bullies because of the lack in interest or aggressiveness from their parents. Therefore, I believe that parents have an important role in this reality too.

Consequences Of Verbal Bullying

Verbal bullying can hurt as much as physical bullying, it is just a different kind of pain. All types of bullying generally have the same consequences. The most deadly consequence is suicide. Verbal bullying is insulting people, speaking to them in a disrespectful way.

This type of bullying can lead to many other consequences. The victim is no longer self confident, they look back at those memories of being bullied almost everyday. Every mean thing the bullies said to them will be believed by the victim for a long time. They will become very negative and maybe even become a bully in the future. They never tell anyone because they are to scared. Bullying could cause the option for the victims to commit suicide. His friends and family won't ever know why he did that action to himself and they would because they won't ever know what exactly happened to him.
