Childhood bullying is a major issue, with one in five students in Cyprus affected, as highlighted by a 2023 study. The impact can be severe, affecting emotional well-being, social interactions, and school performance.

Bullying comes in many forms:

  1. Verbal: Insults and threats.
  2. Physical: Hitting or pushing.
  3. Social: Exclusion and gossip.
  4. Cyberbullying: Online harassment.

Watch for signs like withdrawal, anxiety, or changes in behavior and performance. Cyberbullying may cause children to avoid social media or seem distressed online.

If you suspect a child is being bullied, listen and support them, and seek professional help. The Hope for Children Helpline 1466 is available 24/7 for guidance and support.

Since 2016, we’ve proudly sponsored the Hope for Children Helpline 1466, helping combat bullying and promote safer communities.
