Introduction
Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect
others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. It can
include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly
towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.
The "imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is
sometimes referred to as a "target".
Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse emotional, verbal, and physical. It
typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying can be defined in
many different ways. The UK currently has no legal definition of bullying, while some U.S. states
have laws against it
Bullying ranges from simple one-on-one bullying to more complex bullying in which the
bully may have one or more 'lieutenants' who may seem to be willing to assist the primary bully
in his or her bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as peer
abuse. Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context of rankism.
Bullying can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other. This
includes school, church, family, the workplace, home, and neighborhoods. It is even a common
push factor in migration. Bullying can exist between social groups, social classes, and even
between countries (see jingoism). In fact, on an international scale, perceived or real
imbalances of power between nations, in both economic systems and in treaty systems, are
often cited as some of the primary causes of both World War I and World War II.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The study discussed the Effects of Bullying Among Youth in high school student its
implication to Behavior Specifically, the following questions will be answered:
1. What are the profile of the respondents in terms of:
a. Sex
b. Age
2. What are the factors or causes of Bullying?
3. What are the effects of bullying ?
4.
Objective of the study
To be able to give idea and information regarding the implication of bullying among youth in
1
st
year high school student
Theoretical and conceptual framework
Social cognitive theory provides an agentic conceptual framework within which to analyze the
determinants and psychosocial mechanisms through which symbolic communication influences
human thought, affect and action. Communications systems operate through two pathways. In
the direct pathway, they promote changes by informing, enabling, motivating, and guiding
participants. In the socially mediated pathway, media influences link participants to social
networks and community settings that provide natural incentives and continued personalized
guidance, for desired change. Social cognitive theory analyzes social diffusion of new styles of
behavior in terms of the psychosocial factors governing their acquisition and adoption and the
social networks through which they spread and are supported. Structural interconnectedness
provides potential diffusion paths; sociocognitive factors largely determine what diffuses
through those paths.
Scope and limitation
The study confined itself to the identification of the Effects of Bullying Among 1

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The findings which this study will reveal may benefit certain groups and the benefits
they may be able to gain are as follows:
students this group may use this study as an example to bear in their mind they are
more luckier than those who are bullied even life is very struggling because of economic
problems, they are still send in the school to learn by their parents, thus will challenge to them
and enabling them to perform well in class, study harder to upgrade their knowledge and
intelligence so that the difficulties experienced by their parents in sending them to school to
attain their goals will not be in vain.
Future Researchers / the Researchers themselves the finding of this study will be
serving as a good source of accurate and useful information for them.
To all the parent. So that the parents will be able to know that they should have a sense
of dedication and devotion to duty as parents in implementation of some strategies for the
development of their kids although they experienced being bullied or those who committed
bullying to bring them in a state that they can be proud to be the parents even of those who
overcome the effects of being bullied
DEFINITION OF TERMS:
bully is defined as simply "forcing one's way aggressively or by intimidation," the term
may generally apply to any life experience where one is motivated primarily by intimidation
instead of by more positive goals such as mutually shared interests and benefits.
YOUTH. An early stage of growth and existence, the period of life coming between
childhood and maturity.
Cyber-bullying is any bullying done through the use of technology. This form of bullying
can easily go undetected because of lack of parental/authoritative supervision.
Gay bullying and gay bashing are expressions used to designate verbal or physical
actions that are direct or indirect in nature by a person or group against a person who is gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transgendered (LGBT)

Chapter 2
Review of related literature
Foreign Literature
The word "bully" was first used in the 1530s meaning "sweetheart," applied to either
sex, from the Dutch boel "lover, brother," probably diminutive of Middle High German buole
"brother," of uncertain origin (compare with the German buhle "lover"). The meaning
deteriorated through the 17th century through "fine fellow," "blusterer," to "harasser of the
weak". This may have been as a connecting sense between "lover" and "ruffian" as in
"protector of a prostitute," which was one sense of "bully" (though not specifically attested
until 1706). The verb "to bully" is first attested in 1710(Zwerdling, 1987 )
High-level forms of violence such as assault and murder usually receive most media attention,
but lower-level forms of violence such as bullying have only in recent years started to be
addressed by researchers, parents and guardians, and authority figures( Whitted, K.S. &
Dupper, D.R. 2005). It is only in recent years that bullying has been recognised and recorded
as a separate and distinct offence, but there have been well documented cases that have been
recorded over the centuries. The Fifth Volume of the Newgate Calenda(Complete Newgate
Calendar Tarlton Law Library) contains at least one example where Eton Scholars George
Alexander Wood and Alexander Wellesley Leith were charged, at Aylesbury Assizes, with killing
and slaying the Hon. F. Ashley Cooper on February 28, 1825 in an incident which might today be
described as "lethal hazing(George Alexander Wood and Alexander Wellesley Leith,2003) The
Newgate calendar contains several other examples that, while not as distinct, could be
considered indicative of situations of bullying. Virginia Woolf considered fascism to be a form of
bullying, and wrote of Hitler and the Nazis in 1934 as "these brutal bullies.( Zwerdling, 1987)
Local Literature
Bullying is the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt another person,
physically or mentally. Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to
gain power over another person
Norwegian researcher Dan Olweus defines bullying as when a person is
"exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other
persons." He defines negative action as "when a person intentionally inflicts injury or
discomfort upon another person, through physical contact, through words or in other ways".

Bullying behavior may include name calling, verbal or written abuse, exclusion from activities,
exclusion from social situations, physical abuse, or coercion.
[10][17]
Bullies may behave this way
to be perceived as popular or tough or to get attention. They may bully out of jealousy or be
acting out because they themselves are bullied.
U.S. National Center for Education Statistics suggests that bullying can be classified into two
categories:
1. Direct bullying, and
2. indirect bullying (which is also known as social aggression).
[1]

Ross states that direct bullying involves a great deal of physical aggression, such as shoving and
poking, throwing things, slapping, choking, punching and kicking, beating, stabbing, pulling hair,
scratching, biting, scraping, and pinching.
[19]

He also suggests that social aggression or indirect bullying is characterized by attempting to
socially isolate the victim. This isolation is achieved through a wide variety of techniques,
including spreading gossip, refusing to socialize with the victim, bullying other people who wish
to socialize with the victim, and criticizing the victim's manner of dress and other socially-
significant markers (including the victim's race, religion, disability, sex, or sexual preference,
etc.). Ross
[19]
outlines an array of nonviolent behavior which can be considered 'indirect
bullying,' at least in some instances, such as name calling, the silent treatment, arguing others
into submission, manipulation, gossip/false gossip, lies, rumors/false rumors, staring, giggling,
laughing at the victim, saying certain words that trigger a reaction from a past event, and
mocking. The UK based children's charity, Act Against Bullying, was set up in 2003 to help
children who were victims of this type of bullying by researching and publishing coping skills.








Chapter 3 Methodology

Research Design
The researchers used the descriptive analytical method of research for this is the most
appropriate means of evaluating the effects of bullying among children and its implication to
Behavior
According to Calderon(1993) descriptive analytical method of research as certain to
prevailing conditions affecting a given group hence, this study calls for this method. It is a study
components to serve as a direction in reaching a goal. He pointed out that the descriptive
methods tells what is, that which leads to a scientific information about education, and other
situation. He further described it as a fact-finding with adequate interpretation usually beyond
fact-finding.
The descriptive method of research involves as a certain data gathering process on
prevailing conditions and practice or descriptions of objects, process or persons as they exist for
about a certain educational phenomenon, predicting for identifying relationship among and
between the available described..

Research locale
This study was conducted at Pulo National Highschool just because according to
research out of 8 /10 survey shows that bullying are active in public school in highschool there
are a lot of risk in each and every one of the student

Research Participant
The participant of this study are highschool student who were experienced being bullied
and were chosen through simple random sampling. Sampling is the method by which
a researcher chooses a group of respondents (the sample from a larger population and then
formulating a universal assertion about the whole matter. The researchers used is
purposive sampling,
According to Tan (2006) Simple random sampling is the selection on random basis of
elements from sampling frame, wherein each element has an equal chance or probability of
being chose as subject of the study
