14____. Those who are bullied may feel depressed, anxious, angry, have excessive stress,
learned helplessness, feel as though their life has fallen apart, have a significant drop in school
performance, or may commit suicide (bullycide). Children who are physically smaller, more
sensitive, unhappy, anxious, quiet, and withdrawn are more likely to be bullied. They are often
described as passive. Possessing these qualities make these individuals vulnerable, as they are
seen as being less likely to retaliate.

15____. There have been a number of attacks at schools, involving the use of a firearm.
Incidents that involve four or more deaths are categorized as mass shootings. According to
studies, factors behind such attacks include lack of family supervision and mental illness.
School bullying is associated with school shootings; the vast majority of students believe that
shootings occur in direct retaliation to bullying. The motives include an attempt to solve a
problem, suicide or depression, and seeking attention or recognition.

16____. Thus, this conduct is often described as an intentional aggressive behavior that takes
place via new technologies, during which groups or individuals hurt classmates who cannot
easily defend themselves. These events can occur via cellphones or computers, by means of
text messages, ' e-mails, online social networks, chatrooms or blogs. Because bullies can pose
as someone else, it is the most anonymous form of bullying. This type of bulling can happen 24
hours a day and seven days a week.

17___. Bullying may vary by context. Most bullying in elementary school happens in the
playground. In middle school and high school, it occurs most in the hallways, which have little
supervision. More than 47% of kids reported getting bullied in hallways and stairway. Bus
stops and bus rides to and from school tend to be hostile environments as well; children tend to
view the driver as someone with no disciplinary authority. However, bullying can happen in
any place at any time.

18____. Bullying may be classified as verbal, physical, psychological, and cyber. -

Cyberbullying is becoming one of the most common nowadays. Direct bullying is a relatively
open attack on a victim that is physical and/or verbal in nature. Indirect bullying is more subtle

5
and harder to detect, but involves forms of aggression, including social isolation via exclusion,
spreading rumors, making faces or obscene gestures behind someone’s back, and manipulating
friendships or other relationships.

19____. The educational effects on victims of school violence and bullying are significant.
Violence and bullying may make children and adolescents afraid to go to school and interfere
with their ability to concentrate in class. The consequences include missing classes, avoiding
school activities, playing truant or dropping out of school altogether. Children and adolescents
who are victims of violence may achieve lower grades and may be less likely to anticipate
going on to higher education.
20___. Measures that are effective include increasing empathy for victims; adopting a program
that includes teachers, students, and parents; and having students lead anti-bullying efforts.
Success is most associated with having some students simply take online classes to avoid
bullies at school. It helps to improve school climate, reduce discipline issues, and support
academic achievement. Also, children from a young age must learn proper internet behavior in
order to prevent being bullied via the Internet.
