It can happen in school, college, work, anywhere! It often tends to have a negative impact on self-esteem.<\/p>\n
To mark Anti-Bullying Week<\/a> , we look at the way in which bullying has an impact on self-esteem and self-identity.<\/p>\n Self-esteem is how we perceive ourselves and how much we consider ourselves worthy. It’s about the different types of beliefs we have about ourselves.<\/p>\n It’s very important to develop a healthy self-esteem, as it’s extremely necessary for maintaining good mental health.<\/p>\n People who have low self-esteem tend to feel negative about themselves and have a negative outlook on life. In particular, being bullied can ignite feelings or low self-esteem or even self-hatred. The person being bullied will continue to feel bad about themselves and will find it very difficult to perceive themselves in a positive light.<\/p>\n Low self-esteem leads to becoming socially anxious and feeling withdrawn from others, which is very common. It also causes depression, anxiety and can even trigger suicidal thoughts.<\/p>\n If you know someone who’s being bullied or has been bullied, then the best way to help rebuild their self-esteem is to be reassuring. Also, make them feel that they’re worthy by drawing attention to their positive qualities. Encourage them to engage in activities that are of great interest to them. That’ll boost their self-confidence.<\/p>\n That’s where our Developing Self-Esteem course<\/a> comes in. Our course will help you to understand how to deal with those predominantly negative feelings, nurture yourself and improve your self-esteem. This course would especially benefit anyone who has experienced bullying.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat Is Self-Esteem?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
