INTRODUCTION

A bully is defined as a person who uses superior strength to influence or intimited

another person to force him or her to do what they want.Commonly,children who raised by
family that are not warm and loving and in which feeling are not shared are more likely to
have children who bully.For example ,a child that grows up in substance abuse home usually
get abused by their parents physically and verbally.As a result they tend to express their
feeling by inflicting pain on other because they can take out their pain on their parents for
fear of getting abused more.Another reason could be due to parents getting a divorce leaving
this child to feel alone,blaming themselves leading themselves leading them to rebel and act
out towars others by hurting them physically or verbally.Sibling abuse is also common in
homes.
 DISCUSSION

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively

impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential
prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical
power. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat,
physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular
targets. Justifications and rationalizations for such behavior sometimes include differences of
class, race, religion, gender, sexuality, appearance, behavior, body language, personality,
reputation, lineage, strength, size or ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is called
mobbing. Targets of bullying are also sometimes referred to as victims of bullying.

HISTORY

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 by the 2000s started to
be addressed by researchers, parents and guardians, and authority figures. It’s 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. Virginia
Woolf considered fascism to be a form of bullying, and wrote of Hitler and the Nazis in 1934
as "these brutal bullies".

Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical. It
typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying behavior may
include name calling, verbal or written abuse, exclusion from activities, exclusion from social
situations, physical abuse, or coercion.

Bullying can be classified into two categories:

1. direct bullying
2. indirect bullying (which is also known as social aggression)

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. Social aggression or indirect bullying is
characterized by attempting to socially isolate the target. This isolation is achieved through a
wide variety of techniques, including spreading gossip, refusing to socialize with the target,
bullying other people who wish to socialize with the target, and criticizing the target's manner
of dress and other socially-significant markers (including the target's race, religion, disability,
sex, or sexual preference, etc).

There are several types of bullying :

1. Cyberbullying
Cyber-bullying is any bullying done through the use of technology.
This form of bullying can easily go undetected because of lack of parental
supervision. It is the most anonymous form of bullying.

2. Disability Bullying
It has been noted that disabled people are disproportionately affected
by bullying and abuse, and such activity has been cited as a hate crime. The
bullying is not limited to those who are visibly disabled such as wheelchair-
user or physically deformed such as those with a cleft lip but also those with
learning disabillities such as autism.

3. Gay Bullying
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), or of
questionable sexual orientation, or one who is perceived to be so, because of
rumors or fitting gay stereotypes. Gay and lesbian youth are more likely to
report bullying.
Effects of Bullying

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. In the long term it can lead to posttraumatic stress
disorder and an inability to form relationships.

Suicide

There is evidence that bullying increases the risk of suicide. It is estimated that
between 15 and 25 children commit suicide every year in the UK alone, because they are
being bullied.

Positive development

Some have argued that bullying can teach life lessons and instill strength. Helene
Guldberg, a child development academic, sparked controversy when she argued that being a
target of bullying can teach a child "how to manage disputes and boost their ability to interact
with others", and that teachers should not intervene, but leave children to respond to the
bullying themselves
 CONCLUSION

cause sucide that need to be address as soon as possible to protect victims everywhere.This
problem is also more frequent in children’s that are in school, because in all the schools are
someone that likes to disturb or to make others feel bad. Some teachers realize of this
