The term Bullying relates to dominating aggressively, abusing, and frightening by the use

of force or threat. Bullying could include verbal harassment and it could also include the acts that

Bullying in high schools continues in the college, and the post effects of being bullied

continue in the college. The consequences of being bullied in the school, college are the same, all

bullied from others found mostly saying that they think that it is difficult to make friends, they

fell that no one is there to listen even in college. They also find difficult to fight back when they

hear abusive things from others. It is also reported that the persons who get bullied from other

are more likely to become victim of bullying themselves. Other consequences could be the

reduction in their academic performance. Some of the victims of bullying chose a more drastic

response which includes committing suicides. Bullying could be found in all levels so it is could

be concluded that it prevails in all age levels in fluctuating grades[ CITATION Ada11 \l 1033 ].

Students who have experienced bullying in the school continue reveal the characteristics

or post effects even in college.

 This study was intrigued by the suicide of the students that was the victims of bullying in

schools and colleges. It also revealed that the major reasons of bullying in the elementary or high

school is the school adjustment and changing of the school and it mostly occurs in the school of

rural areas. Another study revealed that the student faced bullying in the elementary school also

face its consequences in the secondary schools. It has been found that the bullies usually have

friendships with the individual having aggressive characteristics or attitude. Bullies usually show

the same aggression at all levels that include elementary, middle and high school to dominate or

acquiring any property at all levels. Research study has also stated that self-esteem in the person

who got bullied in their early stage is low. This study was conducted to determine that whether

the bullied of colleges are the same who got bullied in school. The bullying process is very

complex and it involves a number of factors. They usually are the one who feel difficulty to fit in

the society or the person who seems awkward and could easily be bullied[ CITATION Ada11 \l 1033

].

The research methodology of the study is the qualitative as the study is based on the

student of high schools and colleges so questionnaire was used to get the responses of the

students, there were 269 undergraduate students who contributed in the study and filled the

surveys. They sample size is based on both males and females. There were around 176 females

and 93 males who are studying in mid-western college. The results of the study are more

authenticate because the teachers were involved in filling out the surveys. Students were selected

randomly from the classes. In case of difficulty in understanding the questions, were addressed

by students assisting the survey. Likert scale was used in the questionnaire to obtain the more

accurate results, which covers the five heads 5= strongly agree to 1= strongly disagree[ CITATION

Ada11 \l 1033 ].
 The result has showed that the students of higher education shows the effects of the

bulling they got in schools and elementary schools. There are number of bullying characteristics

that were used in the study. The term safety represent the state when students become unable to

feel relax, they only feel safe in areas where there are less number of persons or have a limited

access. They are afraid that someone may say abusive or hurtful words to them. The victims also

feel the feeling of being excluded from the group task or gathering, they also feel the feeling of

the isolation that no one will listen to them. Bullying victims also get the abused on sharing their

opinions. Victims show that they feel reluctant in sharing the ideas and they feel difficult in

making friends. They also face the feeling that no one will believe what they say and they feel

isolated. The author has used the cause and effect method by giving the effects and their

causes[ CITATION Ada11 \l 1033 ].

This study concludes that the victims of bullying from their peers are at more danger

relative to the victims of moving from one place to another. Bullying increases at all levels with

the increase in the educational environment. The argument selected by the author was effective

but the institution selected was not a good choice. This study was conducted in college of rural

area and it includes just one college. The results of the study are not reliable and it could be

authenticated by the taking survey from different colleges and by filling the surveys from diverse

group of people.
