How to use "Ridiculed" in context?
When society ridicules someone it often results in feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem. This can have a lasting impact on how someone views themselves and sadly, it's often difficult for them to recover from the damage. Bystanders play a big role in this process by joining in the laughter and making fun of the person. As bystanders we are ultimately responsible for the way that the victim feels and we can help them by being supportive and understanding. If we see someone being Ridiculed we should take a moment to stop and reflect on why it's happening.
