INTRODUCTION

• Bullying is defined as any form of

severe physical or psychological
consequences.
• Bullying has been identified as a
social issue in schools, homes and
communities.
• Bullying can lead to both short term
and long negative side effects.
Forms of Bullying
  Physical Attacks: Such as hitting, pushing,
or kicking.
 Verbal Attacks: Such as unwanted sexual
advances, gestures or remarks.
 Social Bullying: Which may involve
spreading rumors or leaving people out of
groups or activities. *Anyone can bully- or
be bullied.
 Bullying causes
• Bullied themselves: Someone who bullies others might have
experienced bullying -- maybe by their parents, their abusing step-siblings,
or even from someone in their neighborhood. Bullies often lack empathy as
a result of their perception of what’s happened to them, and they want to pay
that negativity forward.
• Seeking social attention via loneliness: Bullies
are often lonely. They don’t have any real friends. So they try to find
attention in any way they can, even if that means hampering someone’s
mental health or causing them physical health problems.
• Frustration or envy: Bullies may bully people who are doing
better than them at something, be it grades or athletic accomplishments or
promotions at work. The bullies look to undermine the other person’s skills
with acts of aggression only to level the playing field. Bullies often lack
psychological well-being, so there’s a lot of comparison being done in their
heads, and that leads to frustration and envy.
• Shame: This occurs when the person bullying is ashamed by their
low intellect or lack of ability to succeed in whatever they try. They get
frustrated by their failure and resultantly take it out on the other person
with acts of aggression. Bullies often lack personal integrity, as well.
• The decline of disagreement: This is a trickier one.
Oftentimes in online discourse, a simple disagreement may be flagged by
one person as “hate,” as opposed to an opportunity for future learning and
discussion. When “hate” can be virtually anything, the term bully can be
misappropriated to mean simply “someone you don’t like the views of,” as
opposed to an actual, true bully. The confusion around semantics is a
cause for the perceived rise of bullying, as well.
• Gender norms: Males are more likely to have bullied another
person. While it is common for us to encourage females to talk about their
problems and accept visual emotions, the opposite is usually true for
males. Without the outlet of healthy communication and displays of
emotion, males can revert to aggressive behavior.
