Popping in from Auckland, New Zealand. Great to see @JenaiaMorane moderating #bullying #INZpirEd chat. Kia Ora

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:33 PM EDT

@Supt_Jordan #INZPired Travis. So glad you could make it. I know this subject means a lot to you. Eager to hear your thoughts.

Joining from New Delhi. Sunny and I experienced bullying when I was in school and even out of school. #INZPirED

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:34 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane experienced it at different levels online and in person #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:34 PM EDT

@rsehji #INZpired Ooooo I need to read this. Feeling like a victim is one of the hardest lessons to get past.

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:35 PM EDT

@KSThakral #INZpired It sounds quite common. Do you think most kids go thru some form of bullying?

@nzvh @JenaiaMorane @KSThakral looking forward to seeing you there. Coffee, long overdue #INZpirED

nzvh Sep 30 @ 10:38 PM EDT

#INZpirED A1: Bullies generally lack empathy. Think its related to power play

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@KSThakral #INZpirED And we wonder why people are touchy, defensive and occasionally mean. Protection, pain, old sadness?

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane Thank you, you made me smile😃 #INZpirED

JKatzaman Sep 30 @ 10:39 PM EDT

A1 Bullies might be compensating from a lack of self-worth and jealousy. Either of those is a trigger to lash out. #INZpirED

Supt_Jordan Sep 30 @ 10:39 PM EDT

A1: I think it all comes down to having a feeling of self-worth and many feel that resorting to bullying gives them that. #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane A1: Pseudofeeling of control, a feeling of superiority or perhaps even as a cry for help. Myriad of reasons for this #INZPirED

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane A1 #INZpirED https://t.co/rAcHFvKJyX

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@JKatzaman #INZpirED I agree, though I have a really hard time with those who use power or sense of superiority. Hard to feel compassion

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson Welcome James. #INZPirED Q1: What makes bullies bully in the first place? Join in.

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@nzvh #INZpirED You think? Do they lack it or have they shut it down?

nzvh Sep 30 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson great to see you - an Auckland contingent! @rsehji #INZpirED

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 10:41 PM EDT

A1: Bullies might bully cause of previous bad experiences they have had & they want to take that pain, give it to somebody else. #INZPirED

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson welcome, James. Hope you are enjoying your holidays. #INZpirED

Supt_Jordan Sep 30 @ 10:41 PM EDT

A1: They are looking for gratification to fill the inadequacies that exist in their lives for a multiple of reasons. #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@KSThakral #INZpirED Where is Travis? He's had a few of these. Curious to hear how he deals with at a district level

JKatzaman Sep 30 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane Having compasion for a bully is a tall order unless you aspire to sainthood. #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@Supt_Jordan Number 1 cause in my view especially in front of peers at times. #INZPirED

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@rsehji I so am! Off to Australia next week! Probably should start packing.... #INZPirED

@__jamesanderson #INZpirED That's a good insight. I know people who hurt want to hurt others. A way to get their own pain out?

Supt_Jordan Sep 30 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @KSThakral I think it's important to separate the behavior from the person in all cases.Focus on the cause instead. #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@JKatzaman #INZpirED LOL, unless you can get a bully to let his/her guard down and feel empathy towards those he/she is bullying.

PranSang Sep 30 @ 10:44 PM EDT

Good morning all, joining in from Mumbai, India #INZPirED

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane unfortunately yes. It is highly ineffective and sad way of releasing that pain from inside #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@PranSang @Supt_Jordan @rinikaran @Ms_SheilaD @avnita @guptasonali #INZpirED HI Pranav!

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@rsehji the forecast is looking promising! Hope it stays that way #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@Supt_Jordan @JenaiaMorane Indeed wondering if being called bully gives children a badge at times. #INZPirED

nathan_stevens Sep 30 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane A1 bullies need to make themselves feel better cover their own deficits #INZpired

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@PranSang Welcome buddy. #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:46 PM EDT

#INZpired This question is from @Jonharper70bd Q2: What is the connection between bullying and self-esteem? https://t.co/v3ORLG6Wak

Supt_Jordan Sep 30 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A1: Do we ever think about empathizing with the bully to truly understand the root cause? Caring could lead to sharing. #INZPirED

PranSang Sep 30 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A1: Cud B Bullies are insecure ppl and bullying gives them a tuff exterior to prevent ppl from knowing their insecurities #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens #INZPirEd How can hurting others help you feel better? Superior? In control? I don't get it.

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @JenaiaMorane Welcome to #INZPirED Nathan. Good point often people use bullying as a mask.

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@Supt_Jordan @JenaiaMorane @KSThakral I have seen bullies bully some but safeguard others so is it subjective? #INZpirED

nathan_stevens Sep 30 @ 10:47 PM EDT

nathan_stevens Sep 30 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane it is almost like I knew the next question #INZpired

JKatzaman Sep 30 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A2 Persons with low self-esteem might resort to bullying to bring others down to their level as they see it. Altered reality. #INZpirED

PranSang Sep 30 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @nathan_stevens Jena it gives them a sense of superiority as they can make the other person listen to them. #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@Supt_Jordan Most good schools will explore this approach using a tutor/mentor/counsellor #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@Supt_Jordan #INZPirED I can empathize if the root cause is shared. It's when are acting out & inflicting pain on others that I have trouble

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Exactly! Couldn't have put it any better #INZpirED https://t.co/ol7UAYVNLr

A2 Persons with low self-esteem might resort to bullying to bring others down to their level as they see it. Altered reality. #INZpirED

Supt_Jordan Sep 30 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A2: It's like eating non healthy food. Tastes good but in the end it's having a negative effect. #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@rsehji @PranSang Trust you to pick that up Ritz :) #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@KSThakral @Supt_Jordan #INZPirED Just addressing ONE doesn't address the culture that creates bullies. Also most bullies function in groups

PranSang Sep 30 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A2: Bullying gives them a false sense of being superior and hence builds their ego/sell esteem / confidence #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens #INZPirED LMAO a psychic unicorn ;-)

nathan_stevens Sep 30 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane A2 bullying tends to increase a person's self-worth buy increasing others' faults #INZpired

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @Jonharper70bd it could be low self esteem or then...maybe an inflated ego that drives bullies?! #INZpirED

nzvh Sep 30 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Think it gives the bully false sense of superiority, power and control all linked.#INZpirED https://t.co/bMFOJf5ajL

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens #INZPirEd How can hurting others help you feel better? Superior? In control? I don't get it.

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A2: Bullies tend to bring everyone down to their level because that's how they feel. Bullies often have that harmful power #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:53 PM EDT

#INZpired Bullying, sense of superiority & entitlement encouraged indirectly by schools. Ss labelled & seen better or less than. Not ok.

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@PranSang @JenaiaMorane @nathan_stevens gives them pleasure to be in control #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @Supt_Jordan But for that one it makes a world of difference. #INZPirED Each child is an individual & so are the reasons 1/2

PranSang Sep 30 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson so true James #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens #INZPirED OR using the system that tells them they are better than or more deserving. That needs to stop.

nathan_stevens Sep 30 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@rsehji @PranSang @JenaiaMorane being in control is one of the most powerful substances ever #INZpired

DennisDill Sep 30 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A2 as a smaller kid I used my words to cut down ... not happy with myself but I lashed out and I see kids do the same #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@Supt_Jordan #INZPirED This is true. But meeting them has to start with helping them look the issue in the eye.

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:55 PM EDT

PranSang Sep 30 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@rsehji @JenaiaMorane @Jonharper70bd sometimes they are being bullied at home by a mean P & they take it out on other kids at S #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @rsehji @PranSang #INZPirEd Agree. People w/inflated egos & power need people who will be brutally honest & not play games

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens #INZPirED LOL doubtful

JKatzaman Sep 30 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A3 Children learn from parents and peers. They might also be bullied and lash out in turn. It's a vicious chain reaction. #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:58 PM EDT

#INZpired A3: I had a young friend when I was small whose Ps believed in serious spanking. She in turn would kick, pinch, bite & hit me.

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A3: Peer pressure is a huge problem. Children provoke others to bully because they're afraid to themselves. I've witnessed this. #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@nzvh @Supt_Jordan @JenaiaMorane @KSThakral could do but didn't in this case, fm experience;actually gave this other kid a voice #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@nzvh @__jamesanderson #INZPirEd Good ?. There are different kinds of bullyies & the pack is 1 for sure. Often onlookers equally 2 blame

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@nzvh I think so. Also bullies get jealous of others so if they can't that level, they don't want others to be either. #INZpirED

PranSang Sep 30 @ 11:00 PM EDT

@rsehji @JenaiaMorane @nathan_stevens perverse pleasure #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 11:00 PM EDT

@DennisDill @__jamesanderson #INZPirEd Do you think they are that self aware? This is one reason I really really want SE learning in schools

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:00 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane A3 could be several factors- role modelling someone, anger, hatred, jealousy,betrayal,self worth,isolation, ego #INZpirED

DennisDill Sep 30 @ 11:01 PM EDT

When was the last time you talked to a bully ... really talked instead of just passing judgement? #INZpirED

danibostick Sep 30 @ 11:01 PM EDT

@PranSang @JenaiaMorane @rsehji @Jonharper70bd So common. And sad. #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 11:01 PM EDT

@JKatzaman #INZPirEd My father was very hard on my bro who in turn wanted 2B police officer. He was power hungry so wouldn't feel powerless

nzvh Sep 30 @ 11:02 PM EDT

A3: Learned behaviour - modelled, lack of self esteem, attention seeking #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 11:02 PM EDT

@DennisDill #INZPirEd This is @Supt_Jordan point and where I think the real healing must begin

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:02 PM EDT

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:04 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson I have seen this amongst adults too. If concerns are addressed they join hands to bully #INZpirED

Traits of victims are similar to traits of bullies: poor social skills, externalizing bx, negative self-talk, family struggles.. #INZpirED

A4: I think first of all, we need to create strong awareness around the harmful results of bullying and why we shouldn't do it! #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@KSThakral @DennisDill #INZPirED Isn't this why need SE learning in school? Ss see conflict resolution modeled & get 2 practice in safe way?

PranSang Sep 30 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@rsehji @JenaiaMorane @nzvh @__jamesanderson a whole lot of things, counselling, giving them love, hearing them... #INZpirED

A4 Stay attuned to possible bullying, and don't make false equivalancy of "It takes two to tango." Get facts; discipline bully. #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @DennisDill I have seen some very good SE fail to tackle issues ingrained from home but it really helps the victim. #INZPirED

PranSang Sep 30 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@KSThakral @JenaiaMorane @BBCWorld if it were me, I was wanna beat the person....in the race work towards. It to prove them wrong #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson #INZPirEd AND awareness of what it is. I hear Ss say I'm just teasing or don't B cry baby-They don't know they're bullying!

danibostick Sep 30 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A4: Defining bullying correctly is critical. Bulllying can be convenient scapegoat for more serious problems (e.g. abuse at home). #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@danibostick #INZPirEd Good point. Two sides of same coin. Many bullies are themselves victims.

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@__jamesanderson educating minds and hearts #INZpirED

PranSang Sep 30 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@DennisDill so important #INZPirED

danibostick Sep 30 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A4: pt 2- Bullying is a scourge, but sometimes prevents educators/ counselors from going deeper w/ Ss to ensure safety elsewhere #INZpirED

naghma_khn Sep 30 @ 11:14 PM EDT

Good morning #INZpirED

DennisDill Sep 30 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @Supt_Jordan teachers need to talk to bullies not in a confrontational manner but in a consultation manner #INZpirED

danibostick Sep 30 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane also victims could already be in a very defeated state if they are experiencing trauma at home. #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@Supt_Jordan @DennisDill Agree. Have seen bullies apologise & redress their wrongs. The capacity to change makes us so amazing. #INZPirED

naghma_khn Sep 30 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@PranSang thanks, sorry a little late. My fav topic being discussed today #INZpirED

danibostick Sep 30 @ 11:17 PM EDT

If kids don't feel safe at home and school isn't a safe place, the impact of bullying is amplified. Empathy is key. #INZpirED

DennisDill Sep 30 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@KSThakral honestly, I think the bullying is about self protection ... use whatever weapon you have ... physical or mental #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@T3achingWorst @JenaiaMorane yes about mediation😳 Sometimes may lead to further issues when it's f2f?! #INZpirED

Supt_Jordan Sep 30 @ 11:19 PM EDT

A4: Let's not put all eggs in one basket and focus just on a test score. Life-learning = Educating the whole child. #INZPirED

@danibostick #INZPirEd Sooooo true. I just try to remember that every person is innately good (unless truly ill) & must be a way 2 help

A4. Awareness.they are a part in the form of bully, victim, bystander n upstander. Mostly without even being conscious abt it#INZpirED

naghma_khn Sep 30 @ 11:20 PM EDT

Bullying is a dynamic process. Roles are interchanged. A victim can be transformed to bully without proper intervention #INZPirEd

T3achingWorst Sep 30 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@rsehji @JenaiaMorane I haven't unlocked the mystery that is Middle School Females #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@DennisDill Does this make it instinctive in nature? We all are bullies, just learn to control our instinct better #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@danibostick #INZPirEd To me, bullying is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath are all the causes, abuse, perfectionism, competition etc.

__jamesanderson Sep 30 @ 11:21 PM EDT

Thanks all for a great #INZPirED, I have to go! Until next time....

DennisDill Sep 30 @ 11:21 PM EDT

As a society we look to punish the behavior instead of finding the root cause #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@T3achingWorst Best way to learn on Twitter. #INZPirED by others.

KSThakral - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@naghma_khn Hi Naghma #INZPirED

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@KSThakral @PranSang @JenaiaMorane then there is a limit to hw much we can tolerate & maybe that makes one stronger & resilient #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Sep 30 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@T3achingWorst @JenaiaMorane hahaha and you might never do #INZpirED

DennisDill Sep 30 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@KSThakral I don't think we're all bullies but most bullies are masking some sort of pain #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Sep 30 @ 11:23 PM EDT
