Bullying in school is a worldwide problem that can have negative consequences for the general school climate and for the right of students to learn in a safe environment without fear. I comprises of direct behaviour i.e. teasing, taunting, threatening, hitting and stealing that are initiated by one or more students against a victim. While boys typically engage in direct bullying methods, girls who bully are more apt to utilise more indirect strategies. The key component of bullying is that the physical or psychological intimidation occurs repeatedly to harass and abuse. Students who engage in bullying seem to have a need to feel powerful. Students who regularly display bullying are generally defiant, antisocial and apt to violate school rules.
Bullying is a serious problem that can dramatically affect the ability of students to progress academically and socially. We can take strict measures to overcome this problem. A parental awareness campaign can be conducted during Parent-Teacher Meetings. An initial questionnaire can be distributed to students and the feedback of the survey can help alleviate the problem. Teachers too can work with children at class level. Learning in a safe and fear-free environment should be further ensured.
