In some cases a child can be seen to be the victim, this sounds bizarre to begin with; however, some see that bullying is used as a defense mechanism the person has created in order to hide their insecurities. Bullies also may do this to get others attention as there may be problems or abuse that is occurring at home (this may include possible sexual abuse) this can be useful to know on times. Although we must not think that this is occurring to every child that is a…
Bullying happens when they are not around either of them people and also some kids are too scared to tell their parents because they don’t know how they will act nor do they know if they will stop getting bullied or if it would happen more. The victims of such actions need to understand that they can get out of that situation and also that they can sometimes do it by themselves because being bullied can mess a child up in the long run(Jacobs and McMahon np). The child can become antisocial or become very insecure about themselves, which no child deserves to go through all their lives. Not only do the people that get bullied become very distressed but also the people who witness the action happening can become very uncomfortable and stressed. This isn’t fair to the witnesses either because it can mess with their physical, mental, psychological and social well beings, along with the victim’s well being too. These problems with the victims and witnesses well beings can have a long term effect which isn’t good for either of them (Jacobs and McMahon np). Some of these situations lead to physical threats which are the one of the most common types of bullying. Also, most…

Bullying can happen because of issues at home or lack of self-confidence. Many companies support the idea of confidence, but with bullying in the way, that message will not spread.

Bullying can seem to stem from many different things that are not seen by the public eye ("Why Do People Bully?", 2009). The three main reasons why children or even adults result to bullying are because of cultural causes, family issues, and even institutional causes. Cultural causes can show that as a society people are so intuitive to having power over everything and everyone and all they seem to care about is getting what we want. If a student comes from a background that might not necessarily be the best or may not have been receiving attention from their elders, may thrive for the power to cause harm to others so that they can create pain directed from themselves into someone else ("Why Do People Bully?", 2009). Power means a great deal to most people because it makes a person feel like they are on top of the world, which causes them to act completely different. Then there are family issues which seem to be the major cause of someone becoming a bully, because as previously shown,…
Some people bully others because they believe that doing so will make themselves feel better, even though the outcome is usually the complete opposite. Maybe for a moment they feel amazing, but looking back on it, bullies probably feel really bad about what they did. These bullies, although they appear to not have any sad feeling themselves, probably have a lot of unwanted things going on in their lives (such as divorced parents, the loss of a loved one, the fact that they have no friends, ect.) so they put people down by either physically harming them, verbally abusing them, or by use of a rather recent source: the internet. When you hear of bullying, the first thing you imagine is probably someone getting beat up. This method of bullying is called physical bullying, which is basically any undesirable form of contact from one person to another. This can be as simple as just an unwanted friendly hug, but as in the…

Bullying simply has to do with a power imbalance and intentional acts that causes physical, psychological and emotional harm. It can either be direct, hitting or teasing or indirect/convert, spreading gossip and sending damaging text messages. The full extent of bullying is very hard to become aware of because it usually happens out of sight, away from teachers or other adults. Bullying often happens because of the differences between the bullies and victims, such as culture, ethnicity, age, ability or disability, religion, body size and physical appearance, personality and economic status. (Rigby 2009). Children who are being bullied usually do not tell any one else because they feel ashamed and are afraid that telling will only worsen the…
