- 2. The Hundred Dresses is a children's book published in 1944. It was authored by Eleanor Estes and illustrated by Louis Slobodkin. The story is about a young Polish girl named Wanda Petronski who goes to a school in Connecticut. She is being teased and bullied by the other students in her class, especially Maddie and Peggy. Wanda makes an absurd assertion that she has 100 dresses in her wardrobe as Maddie and Peggy ridicule her faded blue dress. The students mock her over it. The teacher presents a contest of sketches in which the girls are to draw their own fashion outfits. Wanda submits a hundred stunning projects
- 3. Bullying is the use of force, coercion, or threat, to abuse, aggressively dominate or intimidate. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception (by the bully or by others) of an imbalance of physical or social power. This imbalance distinguishes bullying from conflict.Bullying is a subcategory of aggressive behavior characterized by the following three minimum criteria: (1) hostile intent, (2) imbalance of power and (3) repetition over a period of time.Bullying is the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt another individual, physically, mentally, or emotionally.
- 4. Bullying has been classified by the body of literature into different types. These can be in the form of nonverbal, verbal, or physical behavior • Individual • Physical • Cyber bullying • Mobbing • Verbal

"There is a growing body of research which indicates that individuals, whether child or adult, who are persistently subjected to abusive behavior are at risk 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 low self-esteem and increased susceptibility to illness Bullying has also been shown to cause maladjustment in young children, and targets of bullying who were also bullies themselves exhibit even greater social difficulties. bullying was linked to eating disorders, anxiety, body dysmorphia and other negative psychological effects.
- 6. While some people find it very easy to ignore a bully, others may find it very difficult and reach a breaking point. There have been cases of apparent bullying suicides that have been reported closely by the media. These include the deaths of Ryan Halligan, Phoebe Prince, Dawn-Marie Wesley, Nicola Ann Raphael,,Sladjana Vidovic and Rebecca Ann Sedwick. According to the suicide awareness voices for education, suicide is one of the leading causes of death for youth from 15 to 24 years old.Over 16 percent of students seriously consider suicide, 13 percent create a plan, and 8 percent have made a serious attempt
- 7. Authority figures can play an important role, such as parents in child or adolescent situations, or supervisors, human-resources staff or parent-bodies in workplace and volunteer settings. Authority figures can be influential in recognising and stopping bullying behaviour, and creating an environment where it doesn't continue.In many situations however people acting as authority figures are untrained and unqualified, do not know how to respond, and can make the situation worse.In some cases the authority figures even support the people doing the bullying, facilitating it continuing and increasing the isolation and marginalising of the target.Some of the most effective ways to respond, are to recognise that harmful behaviour is taking place, and creating an environment where it won't continue.People who are being targeted have little control over which authority figures they can turn to and how such matters would be addressed, however one means of support is to find a counsellor or psychologist who is trained in handling bullying.
- 8. Bullying can occur in nearly any part in or around the school building, although it may occur more frequently during physical education classes and activities such as recess. Bullying also takes place in school hallways, bathrooms, on school buses and while waiting for buses, and in classes that require group work and/or after school activities. Bullying in school sometimes consists of a group of students taking advantage of or isolating one student in particular and gaining the loyalty of bystanders who want to avoid becoming the next target. In the 2011 documentary Bully, we see first hand the torture that kids go through both in school and while on the school bus. As the movie follows around a few kids we see how bullying affects them both at school as well as in their homes. While bullying has no age limit, these bullies may taunt and tease their target before finally physically bullying them. Bystanders typically choose to either participate or watch, sometimes out of fear of becoming the next target.
- 9. Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and cyberharassment are also known as online bullying. It has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers, as the digital sphere has expanded and technology has advanced. Cyberbullying is when someone, typically a teenager, bullies or harasses others on the internet and in other digital spaces, particularly on social media sites. Harmful bullying behavior can include posting rumors, threats, sexual remarks, a victims' personal information, or hate speech. Bullying or harassment can be identified by repeated behavior and an intent to harm. Victims of cyberbulling may experience lower self-esteem, increased suicidal ideation, and a variety of negative emotional responses including being scared, frustrated, angry, or depressed

- 12. Bullying is typically ongoing and not isolated behaviour. Common ways that people try to respond, are to try to ignore it, to confront the bullies or to turn to an authority figure to try to address it. Ignoring it often does nothing to stop the bullying continuing, and it can become worse over time.It can be important to address bullying behaviour early on, as it can be easier to control the earlier it is detected.Bystanders play an important role in responding to bullying, as doing nothing can encourage it to continue, while small steps that oppose the behaviour can reduce it.
