Assignment on the Bullying

Introduction of the Bullying:

These days Bullying is not just a word but it has been rambling not just in the society but in the schools as well and the ratio of this word is being induced mostly in the schools. At some point in the life, there are many students as well as the teenagers that have become the victim of this word bullying. This word is not just causing a negative impact on schools and homes or making an environment stressful but this bullying is also causing a great as well as negative impact on the minds of teenagers, parents and teachers as well. (Tharp-Taylor, 2009)

Bullying is the problem that exists in the whole world and there is not a single place in the world where people are not well aware of this word. Yes effects do vary from place to place, at some areas it may leave short termed effects on the victims while at some places it may leave the short termed effects on the victims. Bullying has been described here as one of the most aggressive behavior which is being characterized through the repetition of the behavior and getting imbalanced in the power as well. Coming towards the ratio of people, we might be thinking that only small ratio of the people may get effected by this Bullying act but in actual reality, there is not a countable number of the ratio that is being affected because on every day basis large amount of the youngsters are being effected by Bullying and many of us are completely unaware.

Different kinds of Bullying

There is not just one type of bullying when we talk about bullying as an all in all one general topic of discussion as there are different major kinds that may impact differently in different sectors of life especially these days when children and adults both go through this hypersensitive issue throughout their lives. The spread of this sensitive issue with general impact as we can never imagine the extent to which bullying has been effecting people and how intensively it has been critically impacting people whereas this needs to be stopped as soon as possible with precautionary measures. There have been many studies and researches that have been investigating about bullying since long and from many years till now. The researchers have found that there is a broad and much more to this sensitive topic than compared to just meeting the eye on the aspect of bullying. Initially, it has been devised that bullying is evitable to just one or two kinds which may include physical bullying or name calling bullying but people are wrong at assuming it as even parents and teachers are sometimes found to be unaware of the different kinds of bullying that people go through these days e.g, gossping about someone’s appearance is shattering kind of bullying and other than this, there are almost six different types of bullying that affect people in one way or another. (Ahmed, 2005)

Another critical thing that needs to be catered here is that not all types of bullying are of same genre rather different types have different meanings. As predicted by different names of bullying, they all differ in their style as well and every kind use different style and make use of various tactics to affect the victim and make them suffer, for instance, the kind of kids that bully other kids are much sly about how they attack their specific target while there are many who are simply downright mean towards other people. Getting awareness about different kinds of bullying won’t really help parents and teachers simply with the measures to control bullying in fact the awareness also makes them find solutions and best possible ways on how to control them by all means and ways to eradicate bullying and such practitioners from our lives. The purpose of controlling the impact of bullying is mainly to eradicate it from schools and sources where kids are mainly involved especially in the educational sector so that students and kids can get to talk and live freely without getting scared of anything or getting worried about anything in particular.

Some common types of Bullying are:

Physical Bullying:

This is the most famous kind of the bullying and mostly done by the senior on the juniors to shower power to them and be superior in front of the juniors. Physical bullying is the one that tends to be stronger, aggressive and bigger as compared to the peers. Examples of this physical bullying may include hitting, punching, kicking, slapping and many other different kind of the physical attacks.

Verbal Bullying:

Second most common type of the bullying that has been seen in the schools. It comes after physical bullying. In this act, Perpetrators use different kind of the funny names to tease the victims and to gain power. This is being used to hurt the feelings of others to the extreme point. (Wang, 2009)

Relational Aggression of the Bullying:

This is a kind of bullying that is insidious and sneaky as compared to the other ones. This also remains unnoticed by the parents and teachers and therefore they don’t consider it that much serious and no as such actions are being done for them to stop it. This bullying is kind of social manipulation where teens and the tween do different acts to hurt their peers or even they try to sabotage the social standings. The main purpose behind this bullying is to increase the social networks by bullying or controlling the other person.

Bullying is mainly a panic in the mind that stops an individual from doing diverse activities and tasks. It completely impedes a person to indulge in other activities and as an end result, such victims start losing interest from the other activities and start getting depressed. When depression reaches at climax, they start thinking about the desperate ideas because they think that this is the only way to get over this thing. They don’t find a different way nor do they want to. So sooner than it gets deep, it needs to be stopped. (Wallace, 2010)

Effects of Bullying

No matter what sort of bullying it is, it causes psychological as well as emotional pain and distress. The percentage of bullied kids is way more than any other sufferer these days and apart from this, bullied kids are facing swear fear, depression, anxiety, physical symptoms as well as they face a major decline in their academics.

Bullied teens and tweens feel insecure and vulnerable. All this is owed to a reason that they think bullying can attack their houses with the help of mobile phones or computers at any moment. They start to think that there is no single place where they can easily getaway. Victims start feeling that perhaps bullying is ubiquitously around them. Many cyber-bullies choose people around them whom they already know to cause them pain. (Wolke, 2015)

Bullying not only makes victims ill and depressed but also increases the rate of suicide. Kids who are continuously being tormented via messages, social media or through other outlets start feeling hopeless. Unfortunately, bullying has not been taken as a serious thing.

Solutions of the Bullying

Bullying can be congested and our loved ones can also come out of this state if we start helping them and support them. One big action which needs to be taken is raising alertness among people by trying to make this word ‘bullying’ common by conducting different seminars. Speakers should be invited who can easily talk on this topic and make it more interesting. Students should be well aware of this term so that in future they don’t suffer and a big problem and can easily go through it.

Many young people these days don’t share what they go through from their parents. Try to become close enough to your children so that they don’t feel any hurdle or difficulty while sharing any kind of problem.

Lastly, people who have been facing this problem must be recognized to be in serious condition and they need proper concentration and care. We all should try to be with them and help them out before it gets too late and before we lose them.

Conclusion of the Bullying

Bullying is a problem that exists in the whole world and this may leave a short or the long termed effects on the victims and especially on the young children. This bullying is described as the aggressive behavior that is being characterized by the repetition of a behavior and getting imbalance in the power. There is not just a certain limit of the children that are getting affected but hundreds and thousands of the children are getting affected on daily basis. This is the behavior that is not only damaging the people that become its victim or get involved in it but it also affect others who are not even involved in it. This bullying should not be permitted anywhere in the school. Unfortunately, researchers have been finding about people finishing their lives because of bullying from so many years. There are many chances that we or even our child may have been a part of this bullying at some stage of the life or at their school. This bullying act has been spread on such a large scale that now it seems almost impossible to stop it.
