Schoolyard scapegoats, or 'SISSIES' as they are often referred to, are individuals who are targeted by their peers for ridicule and bullying due to their perceived weaknesses. These individuals are often seen as easy targets for bullies, and can be subjected to physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. SISSIES are often seen as outsiders in the school environment, and can be ostracized by their peers. This type of bullying can have a lasting impact on the individual, and can lead to feelings of isolation, depression, and anxiety.
