Shocking bullying behaviour at young age


I AM writing to bring attention to a deeply concerning issue: The alarming rise of bullying behaviour among Generation Alpha children (born between 2010 and 2025), particularly those below the age of 10.

I find it shocking how early these behaviours are beginning to emerge. Children as young as seven and eight years old are engaging in targeted exclusion, isolation, name-calling, silent treatments, and emotionally harmful group behaviour towards other children. The bullying is psychological rather than physical, making it harder for parents and teachers to detect or address effectively.
