BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Introduction

Bullying is the purposeful physical, verbal, or psychological harming of another person. Bullying

is frequently repeated over time and involves a power imbalance. Teasing and name-calling;

persistent exclusion of an individual from games and events; sending threatening or mean-

spirited messages (such as texts, chats, voicemails, or e-mails); or spreading cruel stories are all

examples of bullying. Many students, educators, and families are concerned about bullying and

cyberbullying, or bullying that occurs online. We urge a lot of conversation before and after

seeing this video and the accompanying features so that kids can express their emotions and

share their experiences. Some children may be uncomfortable about being bullied or bullying

others. As a result, it's critical to provide a secure setting in which they feel free to express

themselves. Bullying has specific criteria in schools and districts, and many state boards of

education are developing bullying curricula. We encourage parents and educators to learn more

about how bullying is dealt with in their community and to teach children how to prevent and

stop bullying as well as what to do if they see it. According to studies, 15-25 percent of U.S.

adolescents are bullied on a regular basis, and 15-20 percent bully others on a regular basis

(Melton et al, 1998; Nansel et al, 2001), and many incidents of bullying go unreported. Bullying

is very likely to have occurred in a child's school or neighborhood. But what exactly is bullying?

Ask your kids to come up with some examples. Encourage your pupils to recognize that bullying

can take many forms. Name-calling and teasing are examples of bullying, as are physical acts

such as striking, tripping, shoving, or kicking. A bully may take or break another person's

belongings, or constantly refuse to allow them to participate in sports and activities. Bullying

also includes sending a scary or mean-spirited conversation, text message, voicemail, video,

photo, or e-mail. Remind your kids that a rumor is information that isn't always accurate. Bullies

may spread false information about others. How might a bullied person feel? Encourage your

students to participate in dialogues to assist them understand that it is never okay. for a bully to

cause someone pain or fear Everyone is entitled to a secure environment. Bullying victims may

feel terrified or humiliated. It is critical for them to realize that they are not alone. They have no

reason to be humiliated! A trusted adult, such as an aide, counselor, teacher, or caregiver, should

be informed if a kid is being bullied. Help youngsters realize that reporting a bully who is hurting

them or other children does not make them a "tattler." Children can stand up to bullies if they

feel safe. It is critical that they avoid fighting and instead use their words. They should make it

plain to the bully that he or she must stop, go away, and ignore them. Remind your children that

bullies like seeing people become enraged or upset. When telling a bully to stay away, they

should be cool and confident. If the bully persists, children should continue to ignore him and

report him to a responsible adult. By taking an alternative route home or altering where they play

on the school grounds, children can avoid being bullied. This does not imply ignoring the bully,

but rather avoiding a confrontation while having fun during spare time or after school. Bullying

victims can sometimes stick with their pals because a bully is less likely to cause trouble in a

group. Some children may not be bullied themselves, but they may witness bullying among their

peers. Bullies can be reported to trusted adults, and this can benefit their classmates. Remind

them to describe what happened, who was involved, and when and where it occurred. Tell your

pupils that the adults will appreciate it if they report a bully because they want everyone to be

safe. If a child feels comfortable, he or she may desire to defend a classmate and confront a

bully. Again, Remind your kids that instead of fighting physically, they should fight with words.

Getting a group of friends together to tell a bully to cease can sometimes be beneficial. Bullies

who recognize that bullying isn't cool or who realize they're outnumbered may decide to leave

everyone alone. Encourage your kids to be excellent friends by inviting them to play with others

and comforting them when they are afraid or upset. Bullies frequently target children who are

alone or vulnerable.

Statement of the Problem

This research sought to provide a detailed description and understanding of the lived experiences

of students who are bullied.

Specifically, this qualitative inquiry will answer two central questions:

1. What has it been like for the participants to be bullied?

2. What strategies did the participants use to deal with the bullies' challenges?

Scope and Delimitation

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in role performance in school and at

home among students in public and private high schools in Laguna. The reasons of bullying and

the roles of parents and guidance were investigated.It specifies that the findings may not apply to

other populations or adolescents who are no longer in school. "Trauma in childhood can alter

normal developmental processes," Van der Kolk, McFarlane, and Weisaeth (2007) write.

Because of their reliance on their caregivers, their unfinished biological development, and their

undeveloped conceptions of themselves and their environment, they are vulnerable. Children

have their own reactions and needs.Many children who are subjected to stressful stressors, such

as bullying, might have developmental processes and portions of their brains impacted as a result

of the traumatic occurrences (Ziegler, 2002). Because one of the repercussions of bullying on the

victim is trauma, the above literature is relevant to the research. Bullying can cause traumatic

stress in youngsters, which can lead to scholastic troubles. Students may be afraid to go to

school, ride the jeepney, use the restroom, or be alone in the corridor. This worry and anxiety

might make it difficult for the youngster to concentrate and participate in class, making learning

even more challenging.
