Ineffectual Bullies
However, some bullies are often unsuccessful in their bullying behaviors.
Ineffectual bullies frequently participate in conflict, yet are often not
effective in asserting their aggression. Unlike effectual bullies, ineffectual
bullies do not carry out the bullying behaviors using swift, unemotional
methods. Instead, they continue to “jab” at the victim, who may or may
not resist. Ineffectual bullies are often not successful in bullying their
victims and often are at risk of becoming victims themselves.
