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 a major issue in society today affecting many individuals' lives from young children to teenagers to adults. Bullying is continual, verbal, physical, social, psychological attacking attitude by a person or a group aimed towards a less powerful person or group. The national centre for educational statistics has confirmed that one out of four students has been reported bullied during the year. Consequences of bullying can be extreme or severe.

Bullying has been a huge part of a student’s life since school began in the 12th century, maybe even before. But, what creates bullies? For many years it has been thought of that bullies were students with low self-esteem. However, new information has shown up showing that bullies tend to be the ones with the highest self-esteem and are the most popular students and are living a great life with no large problems. So, what is the real psychology behind bullying? Why does this continue? The answer is simple, bullying affects students giving them a lower self-esteem, less confidence, and even thoughts of suicide. Bullies are a their own breed of people as their brains have been wired differently. It has not only been shown to have effects physically, but also mentally.

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

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.

There are many non-violent ways in which a Christian should respond to any type of bullying. These can include physical bullying, social bullying, cyberbullying and many more. Bullying is the act of intentionally harming others through harassment, assault or manipulation. Source A is an example of how a student had been bullied in grade school. When they got to a bigger school called Junior High, they had less chance to interact. One day that student had come to the cafeteria where the other student was eating lunch. Unexpectedly, he came over and started punching the other student on the arm. That student had enough of him and stood up for himself by taking the other student and pushing him back up against the wall telling him to never touch me again. He never did. There are a number of reasons for the Christian approach to bullying using the bible passages of John, Matthew and Luke.

This website was made to make sure that there is information available to parents, teachers, lawyers and professionals on how to handle bullying, ways to prevent it as well as explaining what bullying is. My stance is that there should be more steps taken to prevent bullying. On this website, a person is able to see what all the types of harassment are. Harassment ranges from sexual, racial, disability to gender. In elementary school, I too went through bullying because of my disability.

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.

No one wants to be bullied. No one deserves to be bullied. However, this is still happening every day everywhere, in society, in schools from elementary level to the University but most are in high school. One day your child suddenly insisted transfer without understanding why, they ask, the prevaricate, you know, maybe they have concealed their causes are victims of bullying problems.

How does one become a bully? There’s always a reason behind any kind of action. A kid might become a bully because he/she might lack attention at home from their caregivers, so they take it out on others to seek for attention. Or a person might get jealous of another kid because the other kid has what he/she doesn’t, for instance; their parents are still together. It could also be that the bully knows that they’re weak or have low self-esteem, so they cover it by picking on others. One might want to look manly or strong in front of group of friends, so they attack on their peers. It’s also possible that a kid who was once bullied to become a bully because they might think that it’s the best way to avoid being bullied again. Bullies might not know what they’re doing is wrong because in their mentality they’re just defending themselves to avoid their emotional problems.
