Social Capital Theory.

Bullying have been contributing in the decrease of classroom participation among bullied
students. According to Mbah Mbah(2020), a higher level of bullying is connected with the Academic
disengagement and poor academic performance in school. Bullied children usually live in fear which
affects their self-confidence, resulting in their regress in socializing and participating in the class.

This study will use the Social capital theory to analyze how bullying affects students’ Academic
Performance in school. Social capital theory asserts that social relationships are means that might
potentially lead to the improvement and accumulation of human capital such as if a stable classroom
environment where bullying is prohibited can support the development of students’ self-confidence and
participation in the class which can contribute in the improvement of his Academic Performance.
