Bullying : A Negative Aspect Of A Student 's Life

It is important to define the term bullying accurately because that term alone can be adversarial. With that being said it can mean intimidation, aggression, hostile behaviors, and pestering the weak. Bullying takes place in schools, work, and in your own home. It can pretty much happen anywhere. Bullying in my terms is anything that can make a person feel weak minded, and has to submit.

As more and more children go to school, the rates of bullying go up as time goes by. there are many times at which students suffer all the bullying that occurs within their lives. As more schools become aware of the magnitude of the bullying occurring right under their noses, there are rules created to aid the victim. There are various types of bullying and these are created to do one thing, instill superiority among the “stronger” and place a feeling of inferiority. Bullies are the ones who are detrimental to a child’s development.

It is time, at last, to speak the truth about what bullying is and how it affects us as human beings and our development. It is unfortunate but seemingly an inevitable human activity. It has been scattered

Bullying is a problem that is on the rise in society; however, many individuals have a distorted view of what bullying entails. Usually when someone thinks of bullying, they assume that it is a standard part of a child’s life. This view, on the contrary, is erroneous. Bullying is actually abnormal behavior, many times, leaving victims with a dismantled self identity. Since some people do not understand the consequences of bullying, the actions of the bully often go unnoticed and are perceived as “kids being kids”. The issue of bullying goes deeper than that nevertheless. Despite the erroneous views that many individuals hold towards bullying, it is still a distortion of normal behavior in children.

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.

The role of bullying encompasses of what actually takes place in school environments and what goes on in communities, families and agencies where children are violent. The authors looks at “A Staging Paradigm” in which the authors divided the violence in patterns and five patterns: repetitive school disruptions (pattern 1), acute case of child aggressor or victim (pattern 2), highly submissive victim or aggressive young student (pattern 3), child with self-injurious or self-defeating behavior (pattern 4), and truants and dropouts (pattern 5). It was noted that bullies are allow to do what they want because bystanders would not intervene and this creates a humiliating experience for the community and the family not to have a peaceful environment ( Weisbroth 2012).

Bullying is something that goes on in everyday life. It happens at school, at home, out in public, everywhere. Bullying includes behaviors that makes others feel inadequate, like harassment, gossip, name calling, and demeaning speech.

Many people have had to deal with or known of a bully. Bullying is a term that I believe many people are aware of and could spot, but may not be able to define without consideration. My definition of bullying is based on preconceived notions that are derived from experience and outside sources, in particular media sources. Being the product of the public school system I was exposed to bullying whether from firsthand experience, rumors in school or participating in an act of bullying. These accounts occurred more than thirteen years ago and I have since only heard of bullying from occasional news reports. To me bullying is a pattern of aggressive action with mal intent intending to assert dominance.

Over the past couple of years, bullying has reached an all-time high around the world. Bullying is an act of someone treated another person poorly either through actions or words. It is something that can be found anywhere and it can happen to people of all ages. It is most commonly found in students’ that attend elementary school, junior high, and high school. In this essay, it discusses a study performed on students grades five through eight on bullying in elementary and junior high.

When looking, at what makes a bully and what makes a victim finding the actions and events that make these labels fit to an individual is a process Bullying can come in several different forms, it can be a power imbalance that is created between two individuals the victim and the aggressor or the bully, this power imbalance is real or supposed (Olweus, 1993). According to research done by Olweus, “A person is the target of bullying

Bullying is the intimidation of weaker people. As all of you know, bullying is a disgusting thing. The bully bullies the victim, and this happens all over the world.

Eric M. Anderman and Lynley H. Anderman state that, “Bullying perpetration and victimization was brought to the attention of U.S. researchers by Dan Olweus, who spearheaded a nationwide Scandinavian campaign against bullying. Referring to bullies as “whipping boys” in the 1970s, Olweus set forth the following definition of bullying that continued to be consistently used into the early 2000s: “A student is being bullied or victimized when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more students” (Olweus, 1993, p. 318). It often involves an imbalance of strength and power between the bully and the target and is repetitive in nature. Children and adolescents may experience isolated acts of aggression,

There are many types of bullying which is highly dependent on the nature of bullying. for example, the physical bullying may incorporate such behavior as hitting, pinching, kicking and any form of physical abuse considers physical bullying. The verbal bullying which incorporate spreading rumors, gossiping, insulting and teasing. Next which is the emotional bullying and this includes isolating and excluding other from the group. Finally, the cyber bullying which is another form of a violence practiced when online communication (Rai,2012). In addition, further elaboration for Physical bullying which happens when the bully practices physical aggression to force, threaten, or damage the sufferer. This is typically the easiest shape of

Bullying is any intimidating, hurtful behavior, such as, pushing or shoving on the playground. Or an ongoing series of deliberate actions, such as, name-calling day after day (“Bullying,”2003). Many children complain that they are teased, called names, pushed, hit pinched or kicked, having their money or other possessions taken. Bullying

Peer bullying is an old phenomenon that only recently has been the subject of more systematic research. The definition of bullying is very specific – it is the chronic occurrence of intentional aggressive behavior that occurs in interpersonal relationships characterized by an imbalance of power. The perpetrator (bully) or the target (victim) can be a group or an individual (Olweus, 1994). On the other hand, peer victimization is a broader term defined as ‘‘The experience among children of being a target of the aggressive behaviour of other children, who are not siblings and not necessarily age-mates’’ (Hawker & Boulton, 2000, p. 441). Yet, while victimization differs from bullying, many researchers consider children who are targets of peer victimization as ‘being bullied’ (i.e. Olweus, 1991; Whitney and Smith, 1993; Fox & Boulton, 2006).
