 Abstract

Bullying refers to aggressive behavior that is repetitive and intentional in which a power

differential exists between the victim and bully. The negative effects of bullying on an

individual's mental and physical health are substantial and in line with other major forms of

child maltreatment. Efforts to increase detection of bullying are indicated, especially among

youth presenting with school phobia, depression, anxiety, and declining school performance.

Several antibullying efforts have been developed and promoted at the school and community

level. Research indicates that many of these programs are effective and share some common

elements that can help reduce the prevalence and impact of bullying.

The Problems and Its Settings

Introduction

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect

others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. It can

include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and maybe directed repeatedly towards

particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The

"imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power .The victim of bullying is

sometimes referred to as a "target". Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse –emotional,

verbal, and physical. It typically involves sub methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying

can be defined in many different ways. The UK currently has no legal definition of bullying,

while some U.S. states have laws against Bullying ranges from simple one-on-one bullying to

more complex bullying in which the bully may have one or more lieutenants who may seem to

be willing to assist the primary

bully in his or her bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as

peer abuse. Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context of rankism. Bullying can occur

in any context in which human being interact with each other. This includes school, church,

family ,the workplace, home, and neighborhoods. It is even a common push factor in migration.

Bullying can exist between social groups, social classes, and even between countries (see

jingoism). In fact, on an international scale, perceived or real imbalances of power between

1
nations, in both economic systems and in treaty systems, are often cited as some of the primary

causes of both World War I and World War II. Foreign Literature The word "bully" was first used

in the 1530s meaning" sweetheart," applied to either sex, from the Dutch boel "lover, brother,"

probably diminutive of Middle High German buole" brother," of uncertain origin (compare with

the German buhle "lover"). The meaning deteriorated through the 17th century through "fine

fellow," "blusterer," to "harasser of the weak". This may have been as a connecting sense

between "lover" and" ruffian" as in "protector of a prostitute," which was one sense of "bully"

(though not specifically attested until 1706). The verb "to bully" is first attested in 1710

(Zwerdling, 1987 )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 in recent years

started to bead dressed by researchers, parents and guardians, and authority figures( Whitted,

K.S. & Dupper, D.R. 2005). It is only in recent years that bullying has been recognized and

recorded as a separate and distinct offence, but there have been well documented cases that

have been recorded over the centuries. The Fifth Volume of the New gate Calenda(Complete

New gate Calendar Tarlton Law Library) contains at least one example where Eton Scholars

George Alexander Wood and Alexander Wellesley Leith were charged, at Aylesbury Assizes,

with killing and slaying the Hon. F. Ashley Cooper on February 28, 1825 in an incident which

might today be described as "lethal hazing(George Alexander Wood and Alexander Wellesley

Leith,2003) The New gate calendar contains several other examples that, while not as distinct,

could be considered indicative of situations of bullying. Virginia Woolf considered fascism to be

2
a form of bullying, and wrote of Hitler and the Nazis in 1934 as "these brutal bullies.( Zwerdling,

1987).

educating a child is tremendous, it matters not so much, how much our government spends for every

child provided that the child finishes the school year successfully. What is deplorable to not is the

enormous number of school leaves every year. When a child leaves school before attaining functional

literacy, much of our effort, time and money go down the drain.

Method of Reasearch

This chapter presents the research method, sources of data ,data gathering instruments that used in the

investigation. Research Design The researchers used the descriptive analytical method of research for

this is the most appropriate means of evaluating the effects of bullying among children and its

implication to behavior According to Calderon(1993) descriptive analytical method of research as

certain to prevailing conditions affecting a given group hence, this study calls for this method. It is a

study components to serve as a direction in reaching a goal. He pointed out that the descriptive

methods tells “what is”, that which leads to a scientific information about education, and other

situation”. He further described it as a fact-finding with adequate interpretation usually beyond fact-

finding. The descriptive method of research involves as a certain data gathering process on prevailing

conditions and practice or descriptions of objects, process or persons as they exist for about a certain

educational phenomenon, predicting for identifying relationship among and between the available

described ..The Respondents The respondents of this study are 30 selected parents of their children

who were experienced being bullied and were chosen through simple random sampling. Sampling is

the method by which a researcher chooses a group of respondents(the sample from a larger population

and then formulating a universal assertion about the whole matter. The researchers used is purposive

sampling, According to Tan (2006) Simple random sampling is the selection on random basis of

4
 elements from sampling frame, wherein each element has an equal chance or probability of being

chose as subject of the study Locale of the Study This study was conducted at Brgy. Santo Nino

Sorsogon City .Gathering tools The materials and instruments to be used for gathering data are the

questionnaire-checklist, the interview, and the documentary analysis techniques, scattered sources.
