Peer or Sibling Bullying
A repeated interpersonal environment in which a child is subjected to ridicule, exclusion, intimidation, or aggression by peers or siblings, often without adequate protection or repair from caregivers. Over time, this can teach the child that social spaces are unsafe, that visibility invites harm, or that asserting boundaries will worsen rejection. The pattern may shape how the child anticipates relationships, manages power dynamics, or evaluates their own worth in group settings.
