Bullying In The Workplace

          Bullying not only happens at school involving kids, but can also occur in the workplace with adults.  Bullying is basically a frequent battle of social corruption that may put your health, career and the job that you once loved at risk.  Emotional harm is typically a main side effect that comes along with the abusiveness and violent form of bullying.  The victim who ends up becoming bullied simply did not cause the bullying to occur.  The main reason why bullies bully other people, especially in the workplace, is simply because bullying is not yet illegal.  Another reason, which is what parents use to tell their kids all the time about bullies, is that the person bullying you may be jealous of you or something you may have.  They may feel enjoy when harming others by which they may feel threatened.  Bullying is more common in job environments than that of racial discrimination and also sexual harassment.  In order to help with the depression and stress that occurs when a person is bullied, they should spend much time with friends and family and try to avoid isolation because isolating oneself from others during a stressful time like this can cause the stress to become worse and increase.  Still, to this date, no state has yet passed a law that bans bullying in the workplace and no one is sure when that will exactly come into effect.  The fact that bullying can seriously affect or even corrupt your personal health makes it a topic that should be taken seriously by making your personal health your priority.
