CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction
Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of
force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and
involves an imbalance of power. It can include verbal harassment, physical
assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims,
perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The “imbalance
of power” may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is
sometimes referred to as a “target”
Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical.
It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation.
Bullying can be defined in many different ways. The UK currently has no
legal definition of bullying, while some U.S. states have laws against it.

Bullying is a form of proactive aggression in which the bullying is
unprovoked and the bully initiates the bullying behavior. (Dodge and Coie,
1987) It is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that
involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the
potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making
threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and
excluding someone from a group on purpose.
Foreign Literature
The word “bully” was first used in the 1530s meaning “sweetheart,”
applied to either sex, from the Dutch boel “lover, brotcher,” probably diminutive
of Middle High German boule “brother,” of uncertain origin (compare with the
German buole “lover”). The meaning deteriorated through the 17th
century
through “fine fellow,” “blusterer,” to “harasser of the weak”. This may have been
as a connecting sense between “lover” and “ruffian” as in “protector of a
prostitute,” which was one sense of “bully” (though not specifically attested until
1706) the verb “to bully” is first attested in 1710 (Zwerdling, 1987)
Effects on the victim Kids who are bullied can experience negative
physical, school, and mental health issues. Kids who are bullied are more likely to
experience
