INTRODUCTION

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 times, people have sought to explain behavior and to find remedies for

behavior disorders. Archeological evidence shows that Stone

According to the new Webster’s dictionary of the English language a bully is “someone who

enjoys oppressing others weaker than himself “.

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).

1
 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

victims of abuse or neglect themselves or a generally more permissive society with

corresponding lack of discipline.

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

the answers are soon to be found.

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

them from gaining social status.

Further, the domination used by bullies to subjugate victims results in intense

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

work practice are discussed.

Chapter 2

Review of Related Literature and studies

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

then get over (Ross,2002p.107)

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 other

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,

and television violence exposure were not predictive of these behavior.

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

activities such as administrative end-runs, well-planned and orchestrated attempts at character

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

many cases, it is the bully’s ability to create the illusion that he or she has the support of the majority

present that instills the fear of ‘speaking out’ improvements of the bullying activities observe by the
group

unless the ‘bully mentality’ is effectively challenged in any given group in its early stage, it often
becomes

an accepted or supported, norm within the group.

In such groups where the bully mentally has been allowed to become a dominant factor in the
group

environment, injustice and abuse often become regular and predictable parts of the group experience
by

standers to bullying activities are often unable or un unwilling to recognize the true cost so that silence

regarding the bullying can have. Both the victim or victims, and to the group.

By stander often unwilling to emphasize with the victim regardless of their feelings towards the
bully. The reversal of a culture of bullying within a group is usually an effort which requires much time,

energy, careful planning, coordination with others, and usually requires some under taking or ‘risk’ by

group member.

It is general unwillingness of bystanders to expend these types of energies and to undertake

types

of risk that bullies often rely upon and order to maintain their power. Unless action is taken, a culture of

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

speak out against bullying behavior than those who have not.

10

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

is perceive by both as a certain sign of submission. The cycle is only set in motion when both of these
two

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
effect

of see me and fear me, I am so power full that I have the ability to inflict pain upon the intended target

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

society often by implying to or telling targets of bullies that they are responsible for defending

themselves, and then punishing victims if they right back
