Bullying and emotional intelligence are two things that are closely related. People with high emotional intelligence (EI) are better able to recognize and control their own emotions, and understand and respond to the emotions of other people. This helps them prevent and avoid bullying situations. Bullying is when someone (the bully) says or does hurtful things to someone else (the person being bullied). It can happen in person or online, and it can make people feel very sad and scared. Emotional intelligence can help people identify what makes them or other people feel bullied, so they can take steps to prevent it. It also helps people learn to handle their own emotions, so if they find themselves in a bullying situation, they can choose a positive response that keeps them safe.
