INTRODUCTION
Bullying is all about behavior, how a person interacts and behaves. Let us first dig into
“From earliest times, people have sought to explain behavior and to find remedies for
According to the new Webster’s dictionary of the English language a bully is “someone who
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. There are many factors
that may affect a person behavior it may be caused by its environment history and the other
related matters and one of the main factors of his change is caused by bullying it may depress
someone thus making her self-esteem degrades nowadays we must not seem to notice event
such as bullying but some incidents we can’t just identify if it is already an act of bullying or
just another forms. The meaning deteriorated through the 17 th century through “Fine fellow”
blusterer to “harasser of weak”. This way been as a connecting sense between “lover”
and ruffian “as in the protector of a prostitute” which was one sense of “bully” (through not
specifically attested in 1706). The verb “to bully is first attested in 1710. (swerlling,1987).

There are many theories on what causes violent and social behavior of children.
Increases exposure to victims through mass media, video games, and the internet. Suffering as
While certainly each of these theories has merit, there is no single cause of bullying
behavior in children. There are however certain generalized characteristics displayed by children
who engaged in such behavior. Children who are impulsive, socially dominant, confrontational,
or easily frustrated children may tend towards bullying behavior. Other characteristics of children.
who bully may include a lack of empathy, a propensity to Question authority and push limits or
break rules, idealization of violence, and the ability to talk their way out of difficult actuation.
It is commonly believed that children who bully are “loners” or are socially isolated.
Research, however, shows this is not the case. Children who bully generally do not have a
difficult time making friends and generally maintain at least a small group of friends who support
their bullying behavior. Some bullies may even be popular although the popularity of a bully
tends to decrease at a higher grade level. Also contrary to popular brie, research shows that
children who bully do not lack self-esteem. While boys are more likely to be bullies than girls,
both boys and girls may bully and both may become victims. Boy bullies are match more likely
to engage in physical bullying. Bullying between girls is more likely to involve social exclusion,
which is harder to discover but no less painful for the victims. We as a student undergo same
challenges in our daily lives and experienced bullying at the same time bullying must be stop but
how.?
School is said to be the place where children learns and molds themselves into someone
they wanted to be but that is not the only luxury some may seem where the famous and
beautiful are honored and respected while the poor little once are bullied.
How can we overcome bullying? These questions are the main reasons of our study. And

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Bullying is a complex social dynamic that can best be understood by using various
theoretical frameworks. the current article uses social capital theory humiliation. And
organizational culture theory to better understand the motivations behind bullying behavior,
negative effects on and how school culture and climate play a role in the prevalence of bullying.
Specifically, the acquisition and maintenance of social capital and the desire for dominance are
prime motivating factors for the initiation and continuation of bullying perpetration. The lack of
social capital experienced by victims serves to maintain victims in their current role and prevents
humiliation that has lasting negative effects on victims, such as anger and depression. The
overall culture and climate of the school setting impacts the prevalence and severity of bullying
behavior, highlighting the need for whole school bullying interventions. Implications for social

Bullying and harassment are not new issues that students and schools face. In fact, over the
years
it has been viewed as being so common place in schools that it has been overlooked as a threat to
students and reduced to a belief that bullying in a development stage the most youth will experience
This harassment is not isolated to schools alone. But schools are the best place to actively
intervene. Teachers, administrators, counselors, and even students have the greatest access to the
most
students through a school system. It is here that school staff can intervene, support and educate
students
about ending bullying behaviors directly and indirectly: breaking the bullying cycle. This paper will
address
bullying in general at all grade levels, but its intervention focus will be at the high school level. (Harris
and
Hathorn,2002p.50)
According also to Harris and Hathorn, “Because adolescence is a difficult time in child’s
maturation, bullying exacerbates these this times by forming barriers to positive connections
with others.
Researchers have identified other risk factors such as depression and personality disorders. As
well
as quickness to anger and use of force, addiction to aggressive behaviors, mistaking others action as
hostile, concern with preserving self-image, and engaging in obsessive or rigid action. A combination of
these factors may also be causes of this behavior. In one recent study of youth a combination of
antisocial
traits and depression was found to be the best predictor of youth violence, where is Video game
violence,
Bullying is defined in different ways. There is an imbalanced of power among the people
involved (Banks, 1997; Dietrich,1997 Espelage & swearer, 2003; Nansel et AL.., 2001). In addition, it was
found that many students who bully their peers in school also bully their siblings at home (Espelage &
Swearer, 2003)

It is often suggested that bullying behavior has its origin in childhood. As a child who is inclined
so act as a bully ages his or her related behavior pattern will often so become more sophisticated.
Schoolyard pranks and rough housing may develop into more subject, yet equally effective adult-level
assassination, or other less obvious, yet equally force full forms of coercion.
Often bullying takes place in the presence of a large group relatively uninvolved by standers. It

bullying is often perpetuated within group for months, year, or longer. Bystander who have been. Able
to establish their own friendship group or support group have been found to the far more likely to op to

The bullying cycle must include both an act of aggression on the part of potential target that

elements manifest themselves, the bullying cycle often proceeds to feed on itself over time, and may
last
for months, year or even decades. The cycle is most easily broken at its initial onset, however, it can
also
be broken at any later point in the progression by simply removing either one of its two essential
ingredients. While group involvement may seem to complicate bullying activities, the acts is most often
an implied agreement in principle between a chief bully or instigator and the target that the one has
‘’submitted’’ to the other. In the act of bullying the bully attempt to make a public statement to the

at the time and manner of many choices without having to pay any consequences should an intended
target exhibit a defeated attitude in response to chronic bullying, then the bullying is likely to continue.
In circumstance where a bullying patterns has not yet fully established itself, should the intended target
respond with a clear attitude of self-confidence that somehow demonstrate that the bully’s attempt to
dominate is futile, then the bullying attempts well often quickly diminish or and all together. Established
patterns of bullying may require greater and more persistent effort to reverse. Institution and organ of
