SEC-S15W2 | “Beware of Bullying”
Greetings to all my valued steemians !
In the second week of the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 15, we have some fantastic contests lined up. One noteworthy competition, hosted by the STEEM INDONESIA community, revolves around the theme "Beware of Bullying." I find this contest particularly meaningful, as it allows me to share my experiences on this topic up to the present moment. I invite you all to join me on this post.
During your life, have you ever received bullying? If so, in what form? physical, verbal or through cyber bullying. Provide your review?
Growing up, I did experience bullying mostly in the form of verbal teasing. This happened because of the special meaning of my name in our local language, which evokes a kind of candy. Children, out of ignorance or teasing, frequently made fun of my name which created a form of verbal aggression. These experiences had an impact on my self-confidence and sometimes made it difficult to integrate into the group of children.
As I grew up, I realized that jealousy and negative traits in human beings could be the cause of bullying. However, I tried hard not to let these experiences define my perceptions of others. This encouraged me to develop resilience in the face of teasing and to work on my self-confidence. Today, looking back on those moments, I consider that those experiences helped me become stronger and more empathetic towards those who may also face bullying.
How do you equip your children to avoid bullying either at school or in their social environment.
To help my children avoid bullying, especially because of the name they have inherited, I strive to take an active role as a support and guide in their lives. Since I know first-hand what it's like to be the victim of name-related ridicule, I position myself as a reliable resource for them. First of all, I try to pass on tips to them for overcoming difficult situations related to their name.
I share practical advice with my children on how to respond to teasing calmly and confidently. We discuss together the importance of not letting the words of others define your self-worth. I encourage them to be proud of their name and to understand that diversity is wealth. Through these discussions, I try to strengthen their self-esteem and mentally arm them against negative comments.
In addition to advice on handling teasing, I encourage open communication with my children. I want them to feel comfortable sharing their experiences, emotions, and concerns. This allows me to be informed about what is happening in their social lives and to respond quickly if signs of bullying emerge. My goal is to create a family environment where they feel supported and understood.
By advising them on the importance of self-confidence, I hope to strengthen their ability to face the challenges of daily life. I encourage them to develop social skills, cultivate positive friendships, and surround themselves with supportive people. By instilling strong self-confidence in them, I believe they will be better equipped to deal with bullying and social pressures.
Give your opinion on how to overcome bullying in form physical, verbal or through cyber bullying
To overcome physical bullying, I think it is crucial to create an environment where violence is not tolerated. I would support educational programs focused on peaceful conflict resolution and anger management. As a parent, I would make sure to teach my children positive social skills and encourage them to express their emotions in healthy ways.
When it comes to verbal bullying, I believe open communication and emotional support are key. I will create a space where my children feel comfortable sharing their experiences and asking for help when needed. I would guide them on how to respond assertively to hurtful comments and encourage them to talk to trusted adults, such as teachers, if they encounter verbal bullying.
To combat cyberbullying, I am committed to educating my children about the dangers of the Internet and promoting responsible use of social media. I would set up regular discussions on how to recognize and report cyber-harassment. As a parent, I would actively supervise my children's online activity while respecting their privacy, to ensure that they are navigating in a safe digital environment.
At the same time, I would support awareness-raising initiatives at the community level and get involved in projects aimed at promoting tolerance and combating bullying in all its forms. By encouraging open dialogue I would help create a culture where bullying is unacceptable and everyone feels responsible for promoting mutual respect.
Thank you very much for reading, it's time to invite my friends @pelon53, @nahela, @steemdoctor1 to participate in this contest.

I have a question: how do you solve this dilemma?
Well - when my children were small, there weren't many online dangers. When I look at the situation today and at the tools that are available for parents to monitor their children, it gives me the creeps. To be more specific - how do you protect your kids' privacy and still monitor their internet use...?
I ensure my children's online privacy while monitoring their Internet usage by maintaining open communication, setting clear expectations, using parental controls, staying informed of online trends, monitoring social media, teaching online etiquette, modeling good behavior, checking in regularly, and striking a balance between independence and supervision.
That's more or less what I thought... But exactly my problem. I don't think there can be a balance between surveillance and privacy. You can do one or the other. With a compromise that serves a bit of both, you don't really fulfil either of them.
That's not a criticism - I haven't come up with a solution myself, hence my question.
I understand your perspective, but remember that finding the right balance is an ongoing process, and adapting your approach as your children mature is essential. Open dialogue and mutual understanding are key components in navigating this delicate balance between monitoring and respecting privacy.
Thank you, friend!

Tindakan bullying memang interaksi yang agresif dengan dilakukan berulang-ulang kepada lawan yang lemah.
Bisa saya katakan anda adalah seorang ayah yang hebat, anda akan mempelajari anak anda bahaya dari intimidasi, serta anda menjadi tempat cerita untuk anak lebih terbuka dan nyaman saat berkomunikasi.karena anda juga merupakan korban dari bullying di masa kecil anda, sehingga anda paham akan penderitaan dan berempati kepada yang mengalaminya juga.
Salam pak.
Que bueno que ahora como padre puedas proteger a tus hijos para enfrentar la situación de bullying que alguna vez sufriste. Los niños son muy vulnerables e impresionables, por lo reforzar su autoestima y manejo de la situación.
La comunicación abierta con respeto y amor son fundamentales para ganar su confianza y puedan transmitirte sus inquietudes y experiencias, que se sientan seguros, queridos y apoyados.
No deja de ser un peligro el ciberacoso, en estos tiempos modernos donde un solo click puede exponerlos a los abusadores, es importantísimo educarles sobre los riesgos en las redes sociales e internet en general.
Gracias por compartir tus experiencias aportando un contenido con gran calidad.
Saludos y bendiciones.
My dear professor @kouba01 Growing up, you experienced bullying in the form of verbal teasing. The fact that as you grew up you handled all these things well, the verbal abuse kids had to deal with had a profound effect on your self-esteem, so to speak, this world in a way. The people who live in this world are very jealous of each other who lives in this world, the people who are progressing in this world, people turn against him, which means that you do not appreciate the progress of other people. Such people are living in the world and you have set a very good example of humanity. Other than that, your post is admirable. It has different topics and I know to learn new lessons from each topic. Multa is definitely doing a great job and I pray that he always continues to grow like this and best wishes are with you. Regards.
