Introduction

School is said to be the place where children learners and molds themselves into

someone they wanted to be. But that is not the only luxury that the school can give,

they can also be a battle field, palace of survival some may seem, where the famous

and beautiful are honored and respected while the poor little once are bullied.

Bullying is a big problem now in our society and what's alarming is the breeding

ground of this plague is our school. Our very own second home is the ground for

bullies. But before we trigger into the problem let us first define what a bully is.

According to new Webster's Dictionary of the English language, a bully is "Someone

who enjoys oppressing others weaker than himself". There are different factors that

may effect person's behavior it may be caused. By its environment, history and other

related matters. And one of the main factors of this change is caused by bullying. It

may depress someone thus making his /her self-esteem degrades. Nowadays,we must

not seem to notice events such as bullying but someone incident must be as vivid as

crystal,we can't just identity if it is already act bullying or just another forms of it .

We as students undergone challenge in our daily lives and experienced bullying

at same time. Bullying must be stop. But how? what makes a child a bully? How can

we over come bullying? These questions are the main reason of our study. And the

answers are soon to be found.

Background of the study

Bullying is all about behavior, how a person interacts and behaves. Let us

first dig into the early ideas about behavior

"From earliest time, people have sought to explain behavior and to find remedies

for behavior disorders. Archeological evidence show that stone age people engage in

a practice called "trephining" to cure behavior disorders. Trephining involved

chipping away a hole in the disturbed by relieving pressure on the brain. Some

telephoned skill show growth over the wound indicating that some people

miraculously survived this treatment ( Ragland R.G. Invitation to Psychology 2002 ).

Even thousands of year ago behavior is one of the most mysterious aspects of

the human composition. It does affect everything and anyone around you. Bullying

may not be considered a serious mental disorder rather it is a rude or unacceptable

actions towards other that may cause physical or emotional pressure toward the

victim. Bullied are people who have their reasons too. They may have undergone the

same problem and just trying to repeat it to avenge them or they have others that

factor turned them into a dark shade . This hypothesis of ours will soon be a fact as

soon as we have proven it and finished our study

Related studies/ Review of Related Literature

Mona ò Cornelius of the anti-bullying center at PUP college in the written,

"there is a growing body of research which indicates that individuals, whether child or

adult, who are persistently subject to abusive behavior are at risks of stress related

illness which can sometimes lead to suicide." Those who have been the targets of

bullying can suffer from long term emotional and behavioral problems. Bullying can

cause loneliness, depression, anxiety, lead to law self-esteem and increased

susceptibility to illness. In the long term it can lead to post traumatic stress disorder

and an inability to form relationship -even leading to celibacy.

There is evidence that bullying increase that risk of suicide. It is estimated that

between is and 35 children commit suicide every year in the UK, because they are

being bullied.

Research have identified other risk factors such as depression personality

disorder 's as well as quickness to anger and use of force, addiction to aggressive

behavior , making others actions as hostile , concern with preserving self-image ,

engaging in obsessive or rigid action. A combination of these factors may also be

cause of his behavior. In one recent study of youth, a combination of anti -social traits

and a depression was found to be the best predictor of youth violence, whereas video

game violence and television violence exposure were not predictive of these

behavior .
Local Studies

Bullying is the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt

another person, physically or mentally. Bullying is characterized by an individual

behaving in a certainly no less significant. Way to gain power over another person.

Norwegian research and always defines bullying as when a person is "exposed,

repeatedly and over time, to negative actions as" " when a person intentionally inflicts

injury or discomfort through physical contact, through words and other way .

Bullying behavior include name calling, verbal or written, exclusion from

activity, exclusion from social situation, Physical abuse, a version. Bullies may be

behave. This way to be perceived as popular or tough or to get attention. They may

bully out be acting out because they themselves are bullied.

U.S National Center for education statistics Suggest that bullying can be classified

into two categories; 1) Directly bullying and 2) Indirectly bullying. Rose that state

that direct bullying involved a great deal of physical aggression, such as shoving and

poking , throwing things, slapping , choking , punching and kicking ,beating

Foreign Literature

The word "bully" was first used in the 1530's meaning "sweetheart" Applied to

either sex , from the Dutch bowl " lover , brother " probably diminutive of middle

high German boule " brother " ,of origin . The meaning deteriorated through the 17th

century through “fine fellow “Blusters", to harasser to weak ". This may have been as

a connecting sense between "lover" and "ruffian" protectors of a prostitute, which a

sense of " bully" .

High levels forms of violence such as assault and murder usually receive most

media attention, but lower-level forms of violence such as bullying have only in

recent years attested to be addressed by researchers, parents and guardians and

authority figures. It is only in recent years that bullying has been recognized and

recorded as a separate and disfind offence, but there have been well documented

causes that have been recorded over the centuries. The Fifth volume of the bullying.

EFFECTS OF BULLYING
The effects of bullying to the senior high school students are:

 It can affect their academic performance in the different subject areas with the

approximately percentage of 71%

 It can keep their study out of focus with the approximately percentage of 84%

 It can makes them feel threatened in going to school with the approximately

percentage of 66%

 It can affect their mental ability to think well with the approximately

percentage of 74%

 It can makes them feel uncomfortable to participate in class discussions the

approximately percentage of 79%

 It can makes them feel pressure in going to school with the approximately

percentage of 79%

 It can affect their self-esteem to participate in class discussions with the

approximately percentage of 80%

CONCLUSIONS

 Based on our findings, the most effect of bullying is that it can keep their

study out of focus with the percentage of 84%, I therefore conclude that

bullying is the reason why students cannot focus on their studies so that their

grades will become lower and lower.

  Second is, bullying affect their self-esteem to participate in class discussions

with the percentage of 80%, so I therefore conclude that the reason of bullying

is that they lower their confidence in going to school.

 Third is, bullied makes them feel uncomfortable to participate in class

discussions with the percentage of 79%, so I therefore conclude that bullying

is the reason why some of the students didn’t continue their studies because

they cannot cope up in their class discussions.

 Fourth is, bullying makes them feel pressure in going to school with the

percentage of 79%, I therefore conclude that the reason why it makes them

feel pressure in going to school is because of they are scared or afraid to the

one who bullied them.

Recommendation
  If you are bullied once, try to inform about the incident to your adviser.

 To avoid being bullied you should respect others so that they can also respect

you.

 To avoid being bullied, you need to develop friendship or gain more friends.

 Bullies target is the one who is weak or out of confidence. So, you need to be

confident in anything you do, don’t show them that you are weak.

 Stand

 Stand up for yourself when you need to prove them that they can’t bring you

down.
