Topic: BULLYINGArticle's SummaryAccording to Menesini and Salmivalli (2017) the impact of bullying at the school levelsis becoming a global issue and menace that has hampered the children development. Thisresearch shed light on the aggressive, intentional acts that has been carried out either atindividual or group scales to a defenceless victim. It has been demonstrated about existing issuesand challenges associated with the onset of bullying among young kids in the Western countries.This also involved causes, ill-effects, complications and preventive measures that led to suchbirth of victims. Cyber bullying has also been seen which constitute about 15 % and thetraditional type is of 35%. It focused on the forms of bullying like prejudiced bullying, genderbased, ethnic or cultural led differences and more. For instance, studies found pout that boys getbullied more than girls. This is due to low self esteem, aggravated behavioural tendencies,family's influence where parents tend to be unsupportive and authoritative, lack of social skills,no standing among peers etc. are few factors that led to such behaviour. Moreover, this impactsthe well being and health of the victimised children and thus must be prevented by collaborativeapproach via school based programs. For this, disciplinary methods and parent meetings/trainingmust be taken together by involving school's administration, parents and children.RelevanceIn recent times, this sociological concept is completely relevant due to excesscompetition and additional pressure to excel in both academics and extra curricular activities.The kids are open to social media, digital platforms and receive exposure and are more prone tobullying vulnerabilities (Søndergaard, 2018). These include negative intent, power imbalanceetc. that brings bullying in school premises either in student-student form or teacher-student.1
