School bullying
School bullying is a type of bullying that occurs in connection with education, either inside or outside of school. Bullying can be physical,verbal, or emotional and is usually repeated over a period of time.[2][3]
In schools, bullying occurs in all areas. It can occur in nearly any part in or around the school building, thoughit more often occurs in PE,recess, hallways, bathrooms, on school buses and waiting for buses, classes that require group work and/or after school activities.[citation needed] Bullying in school sometimes consists of a group of students taking advantage of or isolating one student in particular and gaining the loyalty of bystanders who want to avoid becoming the next victim. These bullies tauntand tease their target before physically bullying the target. Targets of bullying in school are often pupils who are considered strange or different by their peers to begin with, making the situation harder for them to deal with.
One student or a group can bully another student or a group of students. Bystanders may participate or watch, sometimes out of fear of becoming the next victim. However,there is some research suggesting that a significant proportion of "normal" school children may not evaluate school-based violence (student-on-student victimization) as negatively or as being unacceptable as much as adults generally do, and may even derive enjoyment from it, and they may thus not see a reason to prevent it if it brings them joy on some level.[4]
Bullying can also be perpetrated byteachers and the school system itself: There is an inherent power differential in the system that can easily predispose to subtle or covert abuse (relational aggression or passive aggression), humiliation, or exclusion — even while maintaining overt commitments to anti-bullying policies.[5][6][7]
Anti-bullying programs are designed to teach students cooperation, as well as training peermoderators in intervention and dispute resolutiontechniques, as a form of peer support.[citation needed]
