What would you do if you were constantly being made fun of every time you walked into school? What if you found out that your parents were keeping a big secret from you, and when they told you, it made you want to kill yourself? If you had a chance to stop all the lies and secrets and bullying, would you take it. Many teenagers die every year because of suicides. For every death, there is always a reason why.

We don’t consider bullying as a big problem but it really matters. When kids come home saying that they have bullied what do you think is happening to them or the school?

Bullying in Australian primary schools has become an epidemic, having a negative effect on children’s learning and development (Lodge, 2014). Therefore, it is crucial that schools and teachers are aware, understand and educated on how bullying can impact children’s learning and development; to be able to effectively implement policies, respond, educate and eliminate bullying in the school environment.

Bullying is arguably one of the most common vices in our contemporary society that affects individuals across different settings in the society. Most people associate bullying with schools and teenagers, but the practice cuts across almost all institutions in the modern-day American society. People get bullied at workplaces and even in public institutions when seeking for public services. Bullying entails the use of perceived superior power by an individual to intimidate, threaten, or harm another person (Peguero, 2012). Many children and even employees fall victim to bullying and often suffer a lot of psychological effects that are characterized by fear, hatred, depression, and deeply-rooted anger. The advancements in technology, especially the social media platforms, have introduced new dimensions to bullying and has even made it harder for the government and the society to address this issue. Many sociologists observe that bullying is an inbred issue that is deeply rooted in the society. It is a practice that is perpetrated by the society through the existing cultures, systems, institutions, traditions, and norms that encourage alienation and stereotyping that are commonly associated with bullying. Bullying is often analyzed from the structural functionalist perspective of sociology. Prominent sociologists like Talcott Parsons pointed out that the structural functionalist perspective creates a relationship between the existing social structures in the society and the

Bullying is known to potentially have a significant impact on a child’s life. However, it’s important to realize that bullying doesn’t just affect the child. Here, we’ll look how bullying affects everyone involved in the behaviour.

Bullying such as physical or verbal or cyber can distract a student and get him or her to only think about the hurtful things that are done to them causing them to fail one class or more. Bullying cannot only effect the life of a teen student but can also effect their education. These actions can drive a student towards the path of not graduating high school and failing to meet their goal.It has been proven on a recent interview by Ellen Daniels-U with a professor in the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education that “bullying at a high school is a noteworthy problem that is associated with the most serious outcome—failure to graduate.” (Futurity. Dewey Cornell. 5 November 2012.). It can be easily understood why bullying can make a student fail, most of the time these students give up and stop trying because they get putdown a lot. Bullying can make a student change their behavior thatcan earn them an unsatisfactory mark on their report card. Do we want the next generation to fail because of some bully and the school not giving their full attention on the problem?

Bullying in Australian primary schools is a current issue affecting children’s learning and development (Ladd et al., 2012) The impact of bullying and how it effects children’s learning and development is based on the findings discussed below; bullying, types of bullying, factors contributing to bullying and the potential effects of bullying in relation to children’s learning and development in the primary school setting.

Bullying in children and adolescence is becoming an ever increasing issue as it is prevalent in various forms including physical, verbal, relational, and cyber space (Wang et al., 2011). Bullying can be defined as a subtype of aggression that involves repeated exposure to negative actions with the intent to cause harm or discomfort and an imbalance of power between the bully and victim (Hong, Kral, & Sterzing, 2014). Youth who are being bullied have been found to have significant risk of developing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and attempts, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (Yen et al., 2014). Studies have shown that depression is associated with exposure to bullying, so it is crucial that health care professionals

Bullying is an abuse that hurts someone, either emotionally or physically. 3-4 year old children repeat some actions again and again intentionally to hurt someone and irritate other people through those actions or hit someone again and again for the same purpose (McIntyre & Franks, n.d.). In 3-4 year olds, bullying is considered intentional. There are three to four kinds of bullying in early childhood we can identify (physical, verbal, and cyberbullying). There are also some steps through which parents can over-come bullying because if parents don 't stop bullying during early childhood, bullying will increase with the growth of that child (Storey & Slaby, 2013). There are too many problems with bullying, such as stereotyping, which is one of the major issue that will occur if parents do not control their children in early childhood. Children can also develop dysfunctional relationships later in life as a result. For example, a child in her early childhood, whose name is Rena, is constantly being bullied by her cousin, Chris. He bites her arms and pulls her hair because she plays with his toys. Rena may carry her hate towards him from now till the time she grows up and by then she will only see negativity in Chris and would hate him forever. That is if her parents don 't change her perception of Chris while she 's still in the early years of childhood. That 's bullying and that 's only one problem with it. There are so many other issues like this at the age of 3-4.

In Todays, society bullying is shown more often in schools, especially high schools. The type of bullying noted and documented are Physical bullying, Verbal Bullying, Cyberbullying, and Covent or Hidden bullying. Kids use cyberbullying against each other to discriminate their friends or just to make fun of them online. In school campus, kids use Physical bullying to manhandle their peers because they want to feel better and show that they have more power, or just because they are having domestic issues at home. They usually perform these acts in front of a crowd to get more attention making them feel more powerful. When using Verbal abuse kids use words in a negative way to degrade others, or to humiliate them in front of their peers because of what they wear, or because of their economic standing. When using Covent or hidden bullying kids spreading rumors, mimic others behind their back and ruining their social reputation. Kids may not know that this is a type of bullying because they may see it at playing around but adults should be able to see the difference and talk the kids because they may not see that by spreading rumors or mimicking they are humiliating the other person in front of their peers.

People also have misconceptions about what bullying is exactly. Some believe that conflict is the same as bullying. Conflict involves people with equal power and blame, whereas bullying involves at least two people who do not have equal power, and certainly do not share blame. Likewise, bullying is not the same as joking around, or kids just being kids. Bullying is a learned behavior, not genetic, and joking around is not intended to hurt anyone, whereas bullying is intentionally hurtful because it takes advantage of a real or perceived power imbalance. As a matter of fact, bullying has the potential to have a serious negative impact on the entire school climate if left unchecked. Additionally, bullying is not just physical behaviors like hitting, kicking, pushing, and etcetera. Similarly, bullying is not the same as boys just being boys because aggression is a learned behavior, not genetic. Although, it is interesting that this misconception exists because it is derived from fairytales, which is one form of media that has shaped gender norms for both girls and boys.

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Rationalizations for such behavior sometimes include differences of social class, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, behavior, body language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size or ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing.
