Bullying is a learned behavior. Whereas, the victim may live a life of depression and anxiety. The victim may never reach their full potential because of fear and uncertainty. The victim has a difficult time making and keeping friends, and seeks to stay clear of confrontation. The victim loses his/her control or voice and lives in the shadow of the aggressor.

In fact, researchers and bloggers have mentioned labeling kids, as ”victims and Bullies” does not help discard the situation. It is known to cause children to identify themselves as “victims” and “bullies” and patterns may be repeated. Nonetheless, although social roles such as “Victims and Bullies” can be negative as far as labeling, it has helps understand the source of warning signs and aggressive behavior so it can be managed properly. For example, Warning signs such as constantly speaking negative, getting into a lot of fights, being aggressive and even coming home with scars and bruises.

bullying contributes to mass incarceration. There is, however, a commonality that exists between the two entities. What can be derived from the data about bullying is there is a racial inequity which mirrors the same inequities that exist for the incarcerated population (The Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative [CAHMI], 2012) (American Civil Liberties Union, 2008). Bullying data and studies have demonstrated that Black youths in school are more likely to engage in bullying behaviors than any other race (CAHMI, 2012). Studies have linked bullying behaviors to incarceration among juveniles, suggesting that youths that engage in bullying are at an increased risk of committing a crime and consequently be incarcerated (Bender et al., 2010). This connection has been raised a component of the "School-to-Prison Pipeline" in which students of color (particularly Black and Latino) are the

Bullying and harassment within the K-12 school setting, based on research studies continues to be a problem with great consequences for the victims such as suicidal thoughts, lower grade point averages, high truancy and high drop-out rates. Research on the connection between bullying and harassment and academic variables demonstrated that students who experienced bullying and harassments are more likely to avoid or drop out of school (Fried & Fried, 1996), have lower academic achievement (Glew, Fan, Katon, Rivara, & Kernic, 2005), have lower self-esteem and have higher levels of anxiety, depression and social isolation (Hawker, D.S.J & Boulton, 2000), and more likely to attempt suicide or have a greater frequency of suicidal thoughts (Rigby, 2003). This study attempts to resolve some conflicting results of previous studies on frequency of bullying of students with marginalized race/ethnic identity. It also attempts to investigate the frequency of bullying and harassments of students with multiple marginalized identities in comparison to students with one or no marginalized identities. There has been research exploring the bullying and harassment of students based on social identities such as race/ethnicity, ability status, gender/sex assigned at birth, gender identity &/or gender

This article explores the different patterns on how children become bullies. Victims of bullying are repeatedly exposed to aggressive behavior ( Lereya, Samara & Wolke, 2013). This study involved both children and parents. The research was conducted to know why some children become bullies and others don’t. According to Lereya (2013), children’s family experiences and parenting behavior before entering school help shape their capacity to adapt and cope at school. It is important to identify how parenting styles and parent-child relationship are related to victimization in order to develop intervention programs to prevent or victimization in childhood and adolescence

She describes that confronting the bully, by fightback, sharing with friend and family for intervention, are different strategies used by victims. In some case the victim is unable to equalize this power over the bully. Which can prolong, ongoing humiliation dealing with issues, such as divorce in the family, drastic learning disabilities, as well as chronic illness potently can cause a breaking point. Having low self-esteem, depression, and suicidal and homicidal ideations. Some victims carry the hurt of bullying into adulthood. More or less victims tend to lose faith in other people for comfort and support. She contends “the adverse social and emotional consequences of bullying victimization do not support the idea that bullying builds character. Victimization may build character for a tiny proportion of the population.” (Kuykendall 2012). Bullying for the most part can be traumatic and painful should not be silently approved. Bullies hold social power than the victims. However attacks arise from frustration. Provocative victims are typically sincerely sorry and very apologetic after an attack, a reflection of genuine or low self-esteem. True bullies consume high self-esteem.

Students in 8th and 10th grades represent the developmental stage when adolescents explore autonomy and form identity influenced by internal and external influences (Muuss, Velder, & Porton, 1996; Dudovitz, Li, & Chung, 2013). At this stage, adolescents start forming their perceptions about the family, society, self, and peers. Their life course, such as interpersonal relationships with family members and peers and support (moderator) are the protective factors, and their victimizations (predictor) at school or work are the risk factors (Brook, et al., 1998), as shown in Figure 2. Family and peer relationships and victimization are associated and victimization (predictor) can influence family and peer relationships (Brook, et al., 1998). Interpersonal

This article looks at every aspect of bullying and it effects now and later on in life. Although, the article argue how many people who were bullied as a child end up living a total life in physiologist believe rather than some who hasn’t been bully and is in a good mental state. Bowerman reveals that, “Chances are some people still remember the name of that bully who stole their lunch money or pushed them down the stairs 30 years ago.” This details that more of that most people never forget what happen and often have flashbacks that bring back a painful memory. Bowerman also proclaimed,

This research aimed to analyse the personal characteristics and parental styles of bullies and delinquents, and to establish which factors were related to the bully/delinquent group and which were related to only bullies or only delinquents. A self-report questionnaire on bullying and delinquency was completed by 113 girls and 125 boys aged 11-14 in a middle school in Rome. Bullying and delinquency were more common among boys than among girls. Bullying did not vary significantly with age, but delinquency increased with age. Bullying and delinquency were especially related for boys and for older students. Only bullies were younger, while only delinquents were older, suggesting that bullying might be an early stage on a developmental sequence

The study came from the need to determine the role that bullying plays on adolescent violent behavior and delinquent acts. Most research has been done middle school bullying with very few studies looking at high school bullying.

It is a great challenge to do research on bullying to obtain information and to analyze the complex emotions and cloudy details surrounding the topic. Therefore, it is important to adhere to the ethical guideline: consider the social implication and biases and an array of other societal and researcher issue. In this paper, I will identify the most important steps in the student’s guide to research that would be used to analyze bullying and define my own personal interpretation of what this step means. Finally, this paper will also pursue to examine how bullying relates to the agents of socialization.

Bullying can be hard to define, because research has shown that it comes in many forms which makes it difficult to find one set of characteristics that will describe a bully. Conclusively, studies have defined bullying as a set of repeated aggressive behavior that is intended to harm someone, which usually involves an imbalance of power between the victim and the perpetrator (Morgan, 2012, p. 174). Studies have shown that there are two distinct types of bullying, which is a direct form of verbal and physical aggression, and indirect, which often results in name calling, rumors and exclusion (Aluedse, 2006, p. 38). This form of peer victimization can have devastating effects on a child 's academic work and their physical and psychological well being (Limber, 2003, p. 23). In terms of gender, boys are more likely to be involved in physical bullying (direct) as for girls are more likely to be involved in indirect bullying (Wang et al, 2009, p. 371). Previous research indicates, that parents and friends are two important factors of social interaction associated with bullying and victimization among adolescences. Bullying is quite common among middle school children, because it is during this time that children go through puberty and hormonal changes. During this time students are looking to be accepted and fit into a specific group; however, when there is a lack of acceptance and esteem due to victimization, this can cause children to isolate themselves from those around them

Bullying has the obscured need of an individual to feel like they have the power as compared to others in a social setting. When the bully carries an ego at school, the victim of the bullying may suffer both physical and emotional abuse. Bullying can also extend to sexual and verbal abuse. In some schools, a majority of the popular students tend to pick on the less popular students for the sake of fun and attention from other school mates. The main structural causes of bullying are mostly psychosomatic problems. In most of the times, a bully can also get rid of their own problems by passing it on to others person. In rare cases of young people, teenagers often release their anger out because of their violent backgrounds or negative influences that they come across as they grew up in life. As an outcome, they end up exhibiting these feelings through
