mobbing in schools
Before we get into the warning signs, let’s further explain this type of bullying so that you can get a better understanding of what you or someone you know is dealing with.
Chronic Bullying (bullying that has lasted for over a year) has a strong chance of progressing to mobbing. Several people have described mobbing as bullying on steroids.
Bullying becomes mobbing once bullies have skyrocketed the torment and begun pursuing their targets obsessively and non-stop. Moreover, you bullies’ behavior has gone ignored and unaddressed by authority.
As a result, your bullies have now become so brazen that their actions have grown in strength, frequency, and cruelty over several years.
Now, it seems that everyone is bullying you for everything. Furthermore, the apathy they hold has grown such that the only feelings they have for you are fury and blind hatred.
In other words, the entire student body, even several teachers lose all humanity toward you.
The prevailing attitude is that anything they do to you, no matter how cruel or how dangerous is a good thing. Why? Because, in their minds, you have no value as a human being, and you life is worth nothing.
mobbing in schools: the entire student body, even several teachers lose all humanity toward you.
People who bully to these extremes usually have tons of followers and minions backing them. And they enlist members of their following to do their dirty work. It is when the bullying becomes so significant, so ingrained, and so severe that it seemingly takes on a life of its own.
The bullies and the vast majority of the school are seemingly drunk on hate. Moreover, the bullying and torment of you seem to be all they can focus on.
Instead of the bullies (and virtually everyone else) controlling their evil emotions and actions, their feelings and actions begin to control them. The alumni are seemingly enslaved by hatred and blinded by senseless rage.
They have become so addicted to power and control that the torture they inflict is constant. Put another way, they can’t get enough of the high this power gives them.
Therefore, realize that, in a case of school mobbing, the bullying has progressed beyond disrespect and ridicule. Moreover, your classmates don’t see you as an equal nor do they see you as a little bit different.
They see you as so worthless that you don’t deserve to breathe the same air as them. In fact, many of them may feel you don’t even deserve to breathe at all!
This is why school mobbing is so dangerous because you run the chance of either breaking and dying by suicide or being murdered by someone at school.
In short, the intense hatred and blind rage of your school mates and a few staff reach levels of derangement!
It seems that everyone at school has become deranged.
Derangement happens when the hatred and outrage toward you reaches a fever pitch. Also, for everyone else, the unwritten rule becomes to believe the lies about you or to act like it. Why? Because their safety depends on it!
To keep from becoming targets themselves, everyone outside the bully/victim relationship must believe the lies without question or without even blinking!
Moreover, they must believe it as long as it’s negative. And the more negative and condemning the rumors, the better and more suiting and convenient.
People will also believe the lies, no matter how ridiculous they may sound. Therefore, anytime you hear lies that sound absolutely and utterly absurd to any rational and sane person, that’s when you know that derangement has taken hold!
In short, if you’re a target of other peoples derangement, you are, in a sense, burned in effigy!
9 Warning signs of mobbing in schools
1. Others seem to jump at the chance to diminish anything positive about you.
If you do a good deed that is either visible or gets positive recognition, others in the school will only disregard it and make statements such as:
- “She’s only trying to score brownie points, kiss ass, (etc.).”
- “Haha! He’s just doing that because he thinks it’s going to get him on everyone’s good side!”
When the target reaches a success, others will only rain on it, saying things like:
- “Oh, God! Anyone could’ve accomplished that!”
- “He’s trying to show out! He thinks he’s so special!”
- “She only did that to make herself look good.”
2. People in the school are open with their brutality against the target.
Bullies, their followers, and any other bystander who wants to join in the mistreatment won’t even try to hide it anymore. Why?
Because they know that those in authority won’t do anything about it. Therefore, staff have insulated them from any accountability.
Any abuse toward you is widely accepted, encouraged, and even celebrated!
Moreover, they know that if anyone even dares to speak out for you or help you, that person will suffer mobbing right along with you.
Therefore, know that when others openly abuse you, it’s gotten to a very dangerous level! You might even wonder what they’re likely to do to you next if they can brutalize you so openly.
3. Warning signs of mobbing in schools. People in the toxic environment are blinded by their own hatred of you.
In other words, schoolmates don’t know why they hate you so intensely. They just do.
If anyone on the outside were to ask them what you did or said to them to make them hate you so much, they either wouldn’t be able to answer them at all. Also, they would throw just any ridiculous answer out there, without having the goods to back it up.
Moreover, they’ll hope to the heavens that the person asking is lazy and won’t press the issue further, or worse- (gasp!) challenge them to provide evidence that you’re such a despicable and deplorable person.
They’ll use ad hominem responses such as:
- “Because she’s just a bitch and I hate her”
- “Because I just hate the bitch!”
- “Because he just rubs me the wrong way!”
- “Because he’s a jerk and a know-it-all!”
And be prepared for your haters to viciously attack the person asking the questions. Why? Because the person asking the questions poses the threat of making them look like the demonic monsters they are!
4. These people will be intensely angry each time anything positive comes your way.
For example, if you win an award, they may not say it to you, but you’ll see it in their faces and body language. They also may talk through their teeth to one another as their eyes blaze at you.
5. They’ll try to destroy your good mood because they’ll hate the possibility that you might be happy and feel good.
If they see you so much as laugh or crack a smile, here are a few responses you’re likely to hear from them:
- “What the hell are you laughing about!”
- “What the @&%# are you smiling about!”
- “What have you got to be so happy about, bitch!”
- “Shut up, asshole! You laugh like a hyena!”
- “I don’t see anything funny!”
- “I wish she’d wipe that goofy smile off her face!”
6. warning signs of mobbing in schools: Your classmates will shout you down and tell you to shut up, every time you even look like you’re about to open your mouth.
Understand that, in their minds, you don’t deserve to be heard, nor have the right to speak.
7. They’ll all rise against you when you defend yourself.
When you have “the audacity” to stand up to them, they’ll punish you for it. In other words, once you assert your right not to be abused, they will all gang up on you.
They’ll try to gaslight you into believing you asked for the abuse. Moreover, your schoolmates will smear you to others.
If that doesn’t silence you, the next step is a brutal physical attack. Always! If they can’t bring you down emotionally, they will do it physically and no one will jump in to help you. I’ve seen this happen and have had it happen to me.
8. They will watch you like a hawk.
Understand that they and everyone else in the bullying environment will be watching you very closely- looking for a reason to attack you. In other words, they’ll wait for you to screw up even the tiniest bit!
They will then beat you down with your mistake and never let you hear the end of it.
Realize that these people are only looking for the slightest infraction to maximize and use against you. They will twist, spin, or add to the most trivial thing you do that’s not quite right to make it bigger and more severe.
For example, if you do something as minuscule as knocking over a glass of milk, others will make it into a Federal case and they’ll swear you did it deliberately.
9. warning signs of mobbing in schools: You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
In other words, if they see you talking to a potential date, they’ll swear up and down you’re trying to get laid. But if you happen to be saving yourself for your wedding night, they’ll only call you a prude.
If you take one sip of wine, they’ll call you a sloppy, fall-down drunk. But if you don’t drink, they’ll call you a party-pooper or a stick in the mud. They’ll make statements like, “Well, he just doesn’t know how to have a good time!”
In conclusion
You must realize that when it gets this bad and seems to permeate the whole of the environment, the hatred and contempt for you reaches such a crescendo that it’s has turned into mass mental illness in those around you.
Therefore, at this point, it more than likely won’t get better. It will only get worse until either one of them murders you or forces you to do it yourself.
At this juncture, the best thing you can do for yourself is to run! These people are dangerous and you must get as far away from them and stay away! Keep these schoolmates out of your life because these are people you’ll never be safe around!
It may or may not be feasible. But find a way to transfer to another school or convince your parents to move to another area. Maybe ask them to allow you to go live with an aunt or uncle in another school district.
The only way you’ll ever find peace is to leave without telling anyone. Only then will you be safe and have peace of mind. Moreover, you will get to start fresh in a new place, where you can finally relax and be yourself.
This post was all about mobbing in schools and signs of it so that you will finally know what to do if you even face that situation.
