Bullies and Victims in Family Dynamics

In family dynamics, bullies are individuals, often children or adolescents, who use control, intimidation, or aggressive behavior to dominate others, typically their siblings or parents. Victims are those targeted by these aggressive behaviors, often feeling powerless or hurt. This cycle can stem from underlying issues like insecurity, stress, or learned behaviors. Recognizing this pattern is crucial for addressing emotional well-being and fostering healthier relationships. Effective intervention involves open communication, setting boundaries, and sometimes professional counseling to break the cycle and promote a supportive family environment.
