Bullying destroys confidence.
Agree
(Physical bullying) Causes victims to feel unsafe and powerless.
According to a 2022 World Health Organization report, about 25% of students globally have experienced physical bullying, and many reported feeling more anxious and less confident afterward.
For example, a student who is often face physical bully might stop going to school or joining activities because they are scared, which makes them lose confidence.
Being physically harmed or threatened makes them fear for their safety and lose control over their environment.
Therefore, physical bullying not only harms the body but also severely damages a person’s confidence and sense of security.
When someone is hit, pushed, or harmed, they experience fear and embarrassment, which lowers their self-esteem.
(Cyberbullying) Lowers a person’s self-confidence and self-image.
According to a 2022 study by the Cyberbullying Research Center, 37% of people aged 12–17 in the U.S. reported being cyberbullied, and many said it made them feel “ugly” or “worthless.” Adults are also increasingly facing similar abuse on social media.
For example, when someone is body-shamed in a group chat or on public platforms like TikTok or Instagram, the pain doesn’t end—it follows them 24/7. Whether they are a student or a working adult, this constant pressure causes them to question their value, and identity.
Victims may receive mean comments, edited photos, or hurtful messages on social media platforms.
Hurtful messages or posts online can damage how someone sees themselves, regardless of age.
Therefore, cyberbullying can have serious effects on anyone.
Damage Social Trust - bullying breaks down a person's trust in others, especially peers or authority figures who failed to protect them.
when confidence in relationships is lost, they may isolate themselves and afraid of being judged or hurt again.
(Verbal bullying) Creates fear of judgment, which destroys confidence.
A 2023 UNICEF report found that over 50% of verbally bullied students avoid answering questions in class because they fear being laughed at or judged.
For example, a student who is often teased about their accent may stop volunteering to speak in class, even if they know the answer. This fear of judgment stops them from practicing and gaining confidence in communication.
This fear makes them afraid to speak up, share ideas, or participate in activities.
Therefore, fear of judgment caused by verbal bullying limits personal growth and damages self-confidence.
When people are always teased, they start to worry that others will think badly of them.
The fear of judgment refers to the anxiety experienced when anticipating negative evaluation from others.
Disagree
Confidence depends more on a person’s personality than on whether they are bullied.
A 2023 survey found that around 15% of people who were bullied said their confidence did not change because they had a strong personality.
For example, a confident teenager might ignore hurtful comments or jokes and continue to participate actively in school or social activities. Their natural self-belief helps them stay positive despite bullying.
These individuals tend to believe in themselves and are less affected by negative words or actions from others.
Therefore, confidence is influenced more by individual personality traits than by external factors like bullying.
Some people naturally have strong self-esteem and resilience, which protect them from losing confidence even when faced with bullying.
Bullying can make some people stronger and more resilient.
A 2021 psychology study showed that about 20% of bullied youths reported becoming more confident and willing to speak up after overcoming bullying.
Therefore, bullying does not always destroy confidence; it can sometimes strengthen a person’s character.
Some victims learn to stand up for themselves and develop greater confidence over time.
Facing challenges can teach coping skills and build inner strength.
