Bullying is a common problem between a person to person, it is very common especially to the
students. Bullying is an action of a person for being cruel or threatening, insulting to others who
are weaker or smaller in some way a vulnerable one. If a person or an individual act a bullying,
this individual has the ability to oppress others.
There are different types of bullying, Physical bullying which is physical includes using force
like for example hitting, kicking, punching, pinching, pushing, it can be a long term or short term
damage.
Verbal bullying from the verbal it is an action which it only uses your mouth by talking or
shouting to an individual verbal bullying includes calling of names which not really the real
name of a person, making fun of an individual, teasing someone and more.
Social bullying it is hard to recognize because of it’s characterized by bullying a person’s back,
example of it is humiliating in a person in public, or harm someone’s social reputation.
Cyber bullying this is a very common types of bullying because many people nowadays are
using technology and specifically adolescents, cyber bullying is a bullying which includes the
social media specifically facebook, instagram, twitter.
These actions can cause great distress. However, they do not fit the definition of bullying and
they’re not examples of bullying unless someone is deliberately and repeatedly doing them.
According to the Sanapo, M. S. (2017). When Kids Hurt Other Kids: Bul- lying in Philippine
Schools. Psychology, 8, 2469-2484. A total of 340 sixth graders from five different schools in
Western Visayas participated in the study. Slightly more than half (54.1%) of the sample were
boys and 45.9% were girls.
What are the causes of bullying? Sometimes bullying is the causes of having no friends or being
too shy to make friends, so that they can have the power to be recognize by others or act like
bullies to get others to notice them.
The effects of bullying can may be lead to depression, anxiety of an person, or lessen their
confidence, or making their bullies feel weak and small. On my opinion about this topic is that
this is a problem which our societies been dealing with, in specific one is the problem of cyber
bullying this type of bullying is very common because most of the people or adolescents are
usually using the technology, that is why this is a common problem.
My personal experience is when I was in elementary I was to skinny and have a darker skin,
they usually call me by name like “aeta”, aeta is a part of the indigenous group of people, some
of them call’s me tarsier because of my big eyes, sometimes I cry and tell them to my teacher’s.
Our government created a policy of these action for the victims of bullying be protected from
the bullies, in the Republic Act No. 10627 the Anti-Bullying Act (the “Act”), This law finds
applicability in school-related bullying, student-student bullying in particular, which covers
those uttered in social media.
What can I do to solve this particular problem, in a very easy way to prevent this is to ask the
bullies why are they acting like that and then telling them what if someone do the same to you
what will you feel about that. I’ll ask them questions to feel them terrible about what they were
doing and that’s my way of dealing this problem.
