Kidultying

Nationwide-
When we think of bullying, we typically think of kid to kid bullying first.  Of course there is bullying in the form of psychological, physical, and or sexual abuse, but rarely do we think of another common less reported form of bullying. It is called Kidultying, and describes kids who bully adults.  Adults affected often are reluctant to report kidultying because of the stigma associated with it.  This reporting reluctance may be likened unto that of male victims of female abuse who are ashamed of that associated stigma.  However, kidultying is real and occurs frequently.  Kids engage in kidultying because they believe they can get away with it because they are kids.  An adult who tries to protect himself or herself may be threatened with false accusations of abuse or similar, leaving adults feeling recourseless.  However, the remedy for kidultying is in reporting it to raise awareness.  Thereafter, inclination to eradicate it shall increase. #kidultying
