Understanding the Crisis of School Bullying

Abstract

"Bullying is a highly prevalent impact on individuals every day with school environments being known to be the location for many instances of bulling among children. With nearly 160,000 children staying home every day due to the fear of being bullied, this is an obvious crisis which is supported by study within psychology, sociology and human resources. Research has found that intervention within schools can help curb bullying but even still this crisis proceeds. In my research, I investigate the characteristics of bullies and victims, the influences which shape these parties, and the methods that may help end bullying."
