Dealing with bullies

 Photo: Nobulliying.com

     Bullying is a big problem. It can make kids feel hurt, scared, sick, lonely, embarrassed, and sad. Bullies might hit, kick, or push to hurt people, or use words to call names, tease, or scare them. 

      A bully might say mean things about someone, grab a kid's stuff, make fun of someone, or leave a kid out of the group on purpose.

     Some bullies threaten people or try to make them do things they don't want to do.

Bullying is a BIG deal

     Bullying is a big problem that affects lots of kids. Three-quarters of all kids say they have been bullied or teased. Being bullied can make kids feel really bad, and the stress of dealing with it can make them feel sick.

     Bullying can make kids not want to play outside or go to school. It's hard to keep your mind on schoolwork when you're worried about how you're going to deal with the bully near your locker.

     Bullying bothers everyone — and not just the kids who are getting picked on. Bullying can make school a place of fear and can lead to violence and more stress for everyone.

Why Do Bullies Act That Way?

     Some bullies are looking for attention. They might think bullying is a way to be popular or to get what they want. Most bullies are trying to make themselves feel more important. When they pick on someone else, it can make them feel big and powerful.

     Some bullies come from families where everyone is angry and shouting all the time. They may think that being angry, calling names, and pushing people around is a normal way to act. Some bullies are copying what they've seen someone else do. Some have been bullied themselves.

     Sometimes bullies know that what they're doing or saying hurts other people. But other bullies may not really know how hurtful their actions can be. Most bullies don't understand or care about the feelings of others.

     Bullies often pick on someone they think they can have power over. They might pick on kids who get upset easily or who have trouble sticking up for themselves. Getting a big reaction out of someone can make bullies feel like they have the power they want. Sometimes bullies pick on someone who is smarter than they are or different from them in some way. Sometimes bullies just pick on a kid for no reason at all.

Gemma told her mom that this one kid was picking on her for having red hair and freckles. She wanted to be like the other kids but she couldn't change those things about herself. Finally, Gemma made friends at the local swimming pool with a girl who wished she had red hair like Gemma's. The two girls became great friends, and Gemma learned to ignore the mean girl's taunts at school. 

Bullying: How to Handle It

     So now you know that bullying is a big problem that affects a lot of kids, but what do you do if someone is bullying you? Our advice falls into two categories: preventing a run-in with the bully, and what to do if you end up face-to-face with the bully.

Preventing a Run-In With a Bully 

Don't give the bully a chance

     As much as you can, avoid the bully. You can't go into hiding or skip class, of course. But if you can take a different route and avoid the mean kid, do so.

Stand tall and be brave

     When you're scared of another person, you're probably not feeling your bravest. But sometimes just acting brave is enough to stop a bully. How does a brave person look and act? Stand tall and you'll send the message: "Don't mess with me." It's easier to feel brave when you feel good about yourself. See the next tip!

Feel good about you

     Nobody's perfect, but what can you do to look and feel your best? Maybe you'd like to be more fit. If so, maybe you'll decide to get more exercise, watch less TV, and eat healthier snacks. Or maybe you feel you look best when you shower in the morning before school. If so, you could decide to get up a little earlier so you can be clean and refreshed for the school day.

Get a buddy (and be a buddy)

     Two is better than one if you're trying to avoid being bullied. Make a plan to walk with a friend or two on the way to school, recess, lunch, or wherever you think you might meet the bully. Offer to do the same if a friend is having bully trouble. Get involved if you see bullying going on in your school — tell an adult, stick up for the kid being bullied, and tell the bully to stop. 

If The Bully Says or Does Something to You

Ignore the bully

     If you can, try your best to ignore the bully's threats. Pretend you don't hear them and walk away quickly to a place of safety. Bullies want a big reaction to their teasing and meanness. Acting as if you don't notice and don't care is like giving no reaction at all, and this just might stop a bully's behavior. 

Stand up for yourself 

     Pretend to feel really brave and confident. Tell the bully "No! Stop it!" in a loud voice. Then walk away, or run if you have to. Kids also can stand up for each other by telling a bully to stop teasing or scaring someone else, and then walking away together. If a bully wants you to do something that you don't want to do, say "no!" and walk away. If you do what a bully says to do, the mean kid is more likely to keep bullying you. Bullies tend to pick on kids who don't stick up for themselves.

Don't bully back

     Don't hit, kick, or push back to deal with someone bullying you or your friends. Fighting back just satisfies a bully and it's dangerous, too, because someone could get hurt. You're also likely to get in trouble. It's best to stay with others, stay safe, and get help from an adult.

Don't show your feelings

     Plan ahead. How can you stop yourself from getting angry or showing you're upset? Try distracting yourself (counting backwards from 100, spelling the word 'turtle' backwards, etc.) to keep your mind occupied until you are out of the situation and somewhere safe where you can show your feelings.

Tell an adult

     If you are being bullied, it's very important to tell an adult. Find someone you trust and talk about what is happening to you. Teachers, principals, parents, and lunchroom helpers at school can all help to stop bullying. Sometimes bullies stop as soon as a teacher finds out because they're afraid that they will be punished by parents. This is not tattling on someone who has done something small — bullying is wrong and it helps if everyone who gets bullied or sees someone being bullied speaks up.

What Will Happens to Bullies?!

     In the end, most bullies wind up in trouble. If they keep acting mean and hurtful, sooner or later they may have only a few friends left — usually other kids who are just like them. The power they wanted slips away fast. Other kids move on and leave bullies behind.

Luis lived in fear of Brian — every day he would give his lunch money to Brian, but Brian still beat him up. He said that if Luis ever told anyone, he would beat him up in front of all the other kids in his class. Luis was embarrassed and felt so bad about himself and about school. Finally, Brian got caught threatening Luis and they were both sent to the school counselor. Brian got in a lot of trouble at home. Over time, Brian learned how to make friends and ask his parents for lunch money. Luis never wanted to be friends with Brian, but he did learn to act strong and more confident around him.

     Some kids who bully blame others. But every kid has a choice about how to act. Some kids who bully realize that they don't get the respect they want by threatening others. They may have thought that bullying would make them popular, but they soon find out that other kids just think of them as trouble-making losers.

     The good news is that kids who are bullies can learn to change their behavior. Teachers, counselors, and parents can help. So can watching kids who treat others fairly and with respect. Bullies can change if they learn to use their power in positive ways. In the end, whether bullies decide to change their ways is up to them. Some bullies turn into great kids. Others never learn.

     But no one needs to put up with a bully's behavior. If you or someone you know is bothered by a bully, talk to someone you trust. Everyone has the right to feel safe, and being bullied makes people feel unsafe. Tell someone about it and keep telling until something is done.

How Social Media Is Making You Feel Bad about Yourself Every Day

 Photo: Intelysis

     Do you ever feel worse about yourself after scrolling through Facebook or Twitter? Does it seem as though everyone is leading a life better than your own? It’s all too easy to get jealous of others on social media. Vacation photos, engagement announcements, wedding shoots – it can be enough to make you seriously envious.

Symptoms of social media envy

     So what are the symptoms of social media envy? The main clue is an overall drop in mood. You might feel empty after reading some particularly upbeat posts from a friend or relative. You may also feel compelled to read through all their posts, or flick through all their photo albums. Even when you feel jealous, it’s as though you can’t look away. On some level, you might even enjoy using their posts as a stick with which to beat yourself. Within minutes, you can spiral downwards into a pit of self-loathing and despair. You might also feel bad for feeling jealous. After all, shouldn’t you feel happy for others?

Humans are inherently competitive

     It may help to understand how this phenomenon arises in the first place. Humans are inherently social creatures who like connecting with others, but we are also a competitive species. The truth is that most of us enjoy showing off to some extent. The inevitable outcome is a society of people who tend to take every opportunity to show the world just how great they are, and how well their lives are going. Unfortunately, it is hard to remember this when you are browsing Facebook, and this is where the problems start. According to a study carried out at the University of Copenhagen, we start to feel envious when we compare our everyday lives with other people’s highlight reel – which is all social media really is.¹ When you fall into the trap of compar ing your private self with other people’s public personas, you are bound to feel inferior!

Jealousy is like real pain

     Why is a jealousy a problem? It might feel like a mere annoyance on a day-to-day level, but the effects can accumulate over time. According to a piece research published in the journal Science, envy and physical pain make use of the same regions in the brain.² It actually hurts to feel jealous, and it can become a bad habit. Over time, you can become a bitter person who is too busy overanalyzing their own shortcomings rather than living life.

So what can you do to combat social media envy? 

Remove boastful people from your friends list

     If you follow people who make a point of showing off at every available opportunity, unfollow or delete them. Boastful people are rarely good friends anyway. If you still want to keep in touch with them, stick to text or instant messenger instead.

Don’t be afraid to mention good things in your own life

     If you have some good news to share, spread the positivity! There is nothing wrong in acknowledging your achievements and highlights on your profile. It’s only when it is done to excess or to make others jealous that you need to re-evaluate your behavior. Other people might have good lives, but chances are that you have great moments too. You could also set up a private profile that only you can view. Make this private profile as positive or even as boastful as you like. It sounds silly, but it could be a good self-esteem boost.

Limit social media time

     The simplest way to avoid succumbing to envy is to limit the amount of time you spend reading other people’s posts. Never allow yourself to waste hours looking longingly through a feed or photo album. Set yourself a reasonable time limit per day, and stick to it.

Use social media to connect, not compare

     Social networks are designed for positive interactions, not pointless and unhealthy comparisons. Keep your focus where it belongs. Take a genuine interest in other people’s activities, lives, and opinions rather than running yourself down by making it into a competition.

     You don’t have to give up Instagram, Facebook, or other social media platforms entirely. They are great tools for staying in touch with others. However, in order to combat jealousy, you need to keep a balanced perspective and be willing to take a step back when necessary.

Mystery of Kenyir Lake in Terengganu

 Photo: Pelancongan Terengganu

     Long before flooded, Tasik Kenyir policies that were once lush and lovely once part of the earliest populated areas in Hulu Terengganu.

     While not yet a household name, the names of villages like Melor, Keliok, Berching, Petang, Mentong, Melaka, Kuala Terenggan, Kerbak and Belimbing gonna hear when there is a track history of hydroelectric dams. But now the story of the people who once camped deep in the upper reaches of Rajasthan that is not something that is well known. Most of the stories were down orally from generation to generation it has been forgotten.

     Located in the village of Dura, Abbas Othman Kuala Berang name is well known as a former resident who once lived in the village at the bottom of the lake before it flooded in 1984. At the age of 77 years, Abbas arguably among the last generation 'inhabitants bottom of the lake which was willing to share life stories in his native village of Kampung Kuala Terengganu.

     When sharing a memory of his childhood, Abbas acknowledged village life about 60 years ago was very different life now. He said life in the village can be likened to being in a world of its own. Abbas said that the village is separated with other settlements, the residents rely heavily on natural resources so that money has no value.

"As a child I never saw the money because the villagers do not have to use money to buy the goods".

"If want rice, we plant paddy, if need fish just take in the river," he said.

     According to Abbas, the money will only be released from guri (a kind of small jars) several times a year when the people wanted to go back to Kuala Terengganu to buy salt and clothes. He added that bamboo raft ride to Kuala Terengganu, about 50 kilometers from his village when it takes four to five days.

"Traveling by bamboo raft is very challenging because residents had to fast-flowing rivers and rocky.

"Usually a raft accommodate three to four people. They will paddle rotation. There were times when the raft hit the stream broke", he said.

     According to Abbas, life in the desert traversed by the residents began to get the government's attention in the 1950s to advise residents to evacuate. He said the government promised compensation to four hectares of land were moved to Kuala Berang.

"The first transfers began in 1950 after residents a taste of life in the forest was shrouded in poverty.

"They moved in stages because some did not want to move because the love of garden soil and vast rice fields", he said.

     According to Abbas, he and his family moved three times from Kuala Terenggan to Kampung Petang then moved to Sungai Berching and fully residents before settling in the village of Dura since 1959. He added that the period of migration from the 'basic' Tasik Kenyir was done about 20 years before the dam construction Sultan Mahmud Hydroelectric Station in Kampung Jenagor, Kuala Berang.

"As I recall, there were about 80 families involved in the movement of the first stage," he said.

     In addition to the residents of Kampung Petang and Berching, Dura village is now also shared by the residents of Kampung Kelitok and Berching.

     At present, the former village that turned into a lake that can still be seen based on several rivers that still retains its original name.

Other legends

     Another interesting story related to Tasik Kenyir is the story of a giant fish Arapaima gigas hunting. Told that the fish Arapaima gigas is the story of a giant fish that was brought into Malaysia in the 1980s that was later thrown into the lake. Why waste? Because this fish grow by eating large capital. Size of adult fish more than 2 meters, common aquarium was unable to accommodate the size of fish that grow up like this there is no limit.

     In addition to requiring a large space, great food costs also make it not worth to be defended personally (unless you have a fish shop customers come to shop as an attraction). Finally gonna save costs, the lake was the most appropriate place to release. Does it matter? This giant predatory fish become number one in the lake.

     This is not good for a fish sanctuary. Finally the former Menteri Besar of Terengganu has to offer RM10,000 to anyone caught arapaima fish alive.

Patients and caregivers need to know how much should be taken so that patients do not become dehydrated (lack of water in the body) and not too much water.

     Ensuring water taken adequate and not excessive for the patient is a challenge because of the weather in our country, Malaysia is hot. Here are tips to make sure drinking water is not more than the recommended physicians.
