Bullying in schools effectively affects singular understudies and the school environment in

general. Tormenting can cause long-haul issues for both the survivors of harassing and the

domineering jerks themselves. To investigate the impacts of tormenting on teenagers, we will

characterize harassing, recognize the qualities of menaces and casualties, diagram the degree

and results of harassing, and present assets for additional data and help.

In any Classroom setting, One of the first things I believe a teacher should do is having

classroom rules where all the students in that class are fully aware of the class

rules/regulations/action consequences and also understands the agreed class Conflict

Resolution methods.,I believe Ms. Chung should have established it in her classroom. So, her

response would be probably based on known Classroom. The strategies I would advise Ms.

Chung in this situation are the following first, She must first stop Chi Fai (the bully suspect)

from any continuous hitting of Mei Sheung (the bullied suspect) as she is expected to

Reestablish Safe Environments for each of her students. She must ensure that they are

separated and provided their areas in which to calm down. (Larry Ferlazzo Feb. 10, 2018)

Second. She must start a conversation. Ms. Chung is expected to start a conversation with both

Chi Fai (the bully suspect) and Mei Sheung(the bullied suspect). The situation narrated in Hue

and Li’s (2008) book on page 87 displays a case of misbehavior that is common to happen in

any classroom. To deal with this behavioral problem, Ms. Chung can use three types of

strategies, namely interventionist strategies, interactionist strategies, and non-interventionist

strategies. Ramon Lewis (1997) created a framework that allocates consecutively these three

types of strategies as “the model of control, the model of management, and the model of

influence” (as cited in Hue and Li, 2008, p.91). Interventionist strategies. A teacher who

prefers using interventionist strategies has a strong belief that he/she holds absolute power to
control and intervene with student’s behavior. This belief is actually associated with Lee and

Marlene Canter’s (2001) Assertive Discipline that rationalizes teachers as individuals having

the right to “teaching in a classroom that is free from disruption with support from parents and

administrators” (as cited in Charles and Senter, 2005, p.39). As student’s misbehavior disrupts

a positive classroom atmosphere; thus, teachers should take charge in correcting that behavior.

Using interventionist strategies, Ms. Chung can; therefore, handle Chi Fai’s aggressive

behavior by reminding him about the classroom’s rules and expectations and explaining the

consequence that comes along due to his deviant behavior. An exemplary response could be,

“Chi Fai, you are hitting Mei Sheung. You know that hitting others is against our classroom’s

regulation. Please be nice to all of your friends from now on. If you repeat your action, you

know you will be sent to the reflective corner.” The above verbal interventions are effective to

control student’s misbehavior as it renders teacher’s disapproval towards the behavior and

sends a message to others that such behavior is not tolerated.

Bullying is any behavior that is initiated by one or more students against a victim or victims

that causes physical or psychological intimidation. Bullying behaviors can be classified as

either direct (such as teasing, threatening, hitting, or stealing) or indirect (such as rumor

spreading or social isolation). Boys typically employed direct methods of bullying, while girls

tend to use direct methods. Either way, behaviors must occur repeatedly over time to be

classified as bullying. There are specific behaviors that bullies tend to exhibit. The bullies

often need to feel powerful and in control. They may feel no remorse when they inflict injury

and suffering on others. Bullies tend to defy authority and are likely to break school rules.

They seem to have little anxiety and appear to possess high self-esteem. Students who come

from homes characterized by physical punishment tend to be more likely to exhibit these types
of behaviors. Victims also tend to exhibit specific characteristics. They are often anxious,

insecure, cautious, and have low self-esteem. Victims tend to be socially isolated and may lack

social skills and friends. Because they tend to be weaker than their peers, either physically or

socially, victims rarely retaliate against bullies. Students who have close ties with their

parents/guardians or who have overprotective parents/guardians are more likely to be

victimized by bullies.

What seems fun and harmless for some students, is painful and degrading to others. Bullying

has been a critical issue around schools, but before it was not as dangerous and know as it is

now. This do not means bullying was not happening, it means it was not taken into

consideration by parents or teachers. They thought it was just peer pressure or a kid's game,

and sooner or later the kids would be friends again. At one point, bullies think it’s normal to

be mean and abusive to other students. They tell the victim, “I’m just messing with you” after

aggression. On the other hand, the victim gives power to the bully by not speaking up and

being afraid. Bullying can be avoided if the victim speaks up and seeks help from a teacher,

parent, the principal, Activities should be assigned to parents and students to get them more

involved and find a solution to the situation. For example; community service, anti-bullying

workshops, and school activities. Also, parents should be required to be more involved with

the student's academics, social life, and be responsible for their child’s behavior. By being

involved in their kid’s life, will help the bully have a better understanding of the situation, and

he or she will learn how dangerous and painful is to be a bully. On the other hand, involved

parents should have a better understanding of why the student is having this behavior and will

know how to help their child or seek additional help. Students will be aware of how much

damage a bully may cause to the victim, and many times a bully is a victim of another bully.
We teachers must be a good example to our students and help them to respect each other so

that we can create a positive environment without harming one another.
