Question

causes and effect of bullying

Answer 1

#. Common Causes of Bullying :-

1. Dysfunctional Families: Little affection and openness. Children might witness parents being aggressive towards friends, siblings or family members.

2. Control: Driven by a need for power. Enjoy being able to subdue others. These types of kids are impulsive, hot headed and thrive when their victims cower in their presence.

3. Bully Behaviour Gets Rewarded: The perpetrator is inadvertently rewarded anytime victims give up their lunch money or belongings. They also get rewarded by gaining popularity, attention, or the power of having others afraid of them. These unintentional rewards reinforce bullying behavior and encourage the perpetrator to keep pushing others around.

4. Don't Care About Feelings: Some children either lack empathy or just relish seeing others in pain. When they hurt someone, they have no sense of what the victims or the people around them are feeling. Sometimes a perpetrator may even get pleasure from seeing a child yelp as he kicks him down the hallway. The reactions of the victims give the bully a sense of accomplishment, so he continues the behavior.

5. Can't Regulate Their Emotions: When people get frustrated and angry, they can usually stop themselves from doing things that will hurt others. When kids don't have the ability to regulate their emotions, small annoyances can provoke them and cause them to severely overreact. For example, a child may be innocently walking down the hall and accidentally bump into a bully. Even though the child apologizes, the bully may lose his temper and slam the victim into the wall.
