Research suggests that 10% of children are victims of bullying and 5% of children are involved in bullying others.
Defined as ‘repeated aggressive behaviour intended to harm, and involving an imbalance of power’, being bullied can feel like an unending nightmare to a child
who is being targeted.
So who is likely to be a bully, and can we predict who is more likely to be bullied? What are the gender differences? And what about cyber bullying?
In this podcast, Emeritus Professor Peter K Smith of Goldsmiths, University of London talks to Pod Academy’s Craig Barfoot about his book, Understanding School Bullying, Its Nature and Prevention Strategies, he explains what forms bullying talkes and what parents can do to help.

I am teaching in a school, in my daily routine I observe the result of bulling as the young children suffer and endure the elder one. A number of causes are there for their behaviour but main cause is the cycle of bulling from parents ,elders,teachers,toward their wards and finally flows in society and now it is placed and considered as legal role for the betterment in a society.. Jury does the same, and practice the same if we observe impartially. The future of nation ‘Children’ are the firstly victims and ‘Bully’ is being planted in their mind as default set.
Only politeness can cut-down the bulling bad behaviour and uproot this cancer like crime from a society. Kindly share and proclaim if you think the suggestion is appropriate.

The Bullying today is a very big problem because all started when children are growing, there are different factors that determine this situation such as problems at home, with family or friends, this causes your mood swings and become people with problems at school, like make fun of things that others don’t have or situations that others pass, it is a very serious situation because if we continue so they can die, either committing suicide or killing and this is a threat, says this article and also 10% of children are victims and the other 5% are those who cause.
Stop bullying!
stop bullying
bullies do things such as verbal abuse, physical abuse and cyber bullying most of the time to make themselves (the bully) feel better and strong mainly because they do not get the attention at home and they feel unloved and they feel like they need to take things out on other things such as people and all they need is someone to talk to and maybe, just maybe, they may stop. bullies need to know what may happen if they keep doing the things they do. I am a student and also a victim of bullying and I have helped them (bullies) understand what may just happen and it doesn’t always work but at least you can say you tried.

bullying takes away the confidence of a certain individual for himself.. it is a crime that needs to be solve by the community for it not only slowly kills young children and teenagers but also adults who aren’t able to defend themselves against bullies. My theses is about school bullying, and i learned that there are many high school students who suffers bullying that is beyond my imagination. I told the students that bullies are formed inside their home. It depends on how their parents mold them and teach them about respect and love towards others and themselves. What bullies see is what they do.
