In a school many student face the problem of the bullying from another students that many
times make the student victim and individual fail to react on such kind of illegal activities. . This is
depend on the personality of the victim because if someone has weaker personality then individual

can not become the victim of bulling. Apart from this, if someone is aggressive then that person has
capability to react against such kind of activities immediately hence these personality people do not
become victim of any kind of bulling activities. But the person who does not like to talk with others
and having introvert personality can become victim. This type of students not able to study and they
get weak in the studies. Personality become the cause and become influencing factor for bullying.
