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.

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

Would you rather have a black eye or a broken heart? Bullying can be started by anyone, but most importantly, it can even happen to anyone. It affects many people, even in today's society. For example, in politics, Donald Trump, The President of The United States, puts out a variety of tweets that some people take offense to. Bullying hurts the victim, and some even lose their lives as a result of bullying. Cyber-bullying is worse than physical bullying, because it is publicly posted out on the internet, it stays with the victim consistently, and the bullies are a lot harsher because they have the option to be anonymous.

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 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

April 20th, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold went to their school in Littleton, CO. They preceded to kill 12 and injure 21 students and faculty before killing themselves. Columbine shooting is infamous as one of the worst school shootings in US history. These two boys were known as outcasts and were ridiculed regularly. It’s been said that they were out for revenge on the school for being mistreated (New York Daily). This extreme case is the cause of a broken psyche doe to repeated blows from peers. “Harassment and bullying have been linked to 75% of school-shooting incidents” (Statistics). Not every case will lead to a mass shooting, but is more plausible to lead to suicide. Teenagers are taking their own lives, because they

In the next 7 minutes, a child in the U.S. will be bullied. It may be the son or daughter of someone you know. Worse, it may be your own. Meanwhile, only four out of 100 adults will step in to stop it. And only 11 percent of the child’s peers might do the same. The rest 85 percent will do nothing. Every day in America, more than 160,000 children miss school out of fear of being bullied, according to National Education Association estimates. Bullying takes many forms, ranging from the seemingly innocuous name-calling to the more harmful cyberbullying to severe physical violence. It happens everywhere, at all times to the most vulnerable of kids, especially those who are obese, gay or have a disability. And besides the physical, emotional and psychological tolls it imposes on victims, bullying produces adverse socioeconomic outcomes. The Association for Psychological Science recently found that those who are bullies, victims or both are more likely to experience poverty, academic failure and job termination in their adulthood. In addition, they are likelier to commit crime and abuse drugs and alcohol. For schools, the financial burden caused by bullying is not to be ignored, either. According to a National Association of Secondary School Principals report, the average public school can incur more than $2.3 million in lost funding and expenses as a result of suspensions, expulsions, vandalism, alternative placement and lower attendance. There are different

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.

Bullying in schools is believed to be a normal part of school life, however, when people begin to have this mentality, they forget that bullying is physically and psychologically harmful to both the bully and the victim, therefore, bullying must be eradicated from schools by raising awareness and increasing supervision. The act of bullying or the fear of being bullied underlies almost everything kids do these days. No longer can students leave the gossip and self-doubt at school and go home for an overnight respite. Now, with internet connections thorough cell phones or computers, they never get a break from the drama. Research indicates that bullying can have some long term psychological effects.

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.

The world today needs to understand that bullying is not something that happens just on the playground anymore where the bully stole your lunch money. Bullying has evolved just like everything else in the world. It has taken over the social network that today’s teens have seemingly become obsessed with. Social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram allow users to insult, bully and threaten other users without any fear of punishment. Along with the social network, bullying has taken over majority of today’s technology, such as smart phones, tablets, and computers. Although the bullies themselves remain to be peers, they have just become more malicious than ever. According to the United States Department of Health and
