BULLYING BEHAVIOR IN SCHOOL AND ITS IMPACT

Abstract

Bullying that occurs in schools is now a global problem. Many schools and parents believe that bullying only happens to students in junior and senior high schools, even though it affects many children between the ages of 3 and 12. This research data collection method utilizes secondary data obtained from previous research. Secondary data was collected from the PubMed database, Endless Google Researcher . and Google Scholar in the form of selected journal articles arranged by topic. The number of journals I reviewed was 16 national journals and 18 international journals I used journals I published in the last 10 years from 2012 to 2022. the findings of this literature review, someone who bullies wants to feel like someone who is in power and has learned that by bullying the individual can get the power he wants. There are many reasons why someone does bullying, for example, the individual who does the bullying can feel satisfaction by bullying the victim as compensation for low self-esteem or vice versa, the individual has high self-confidence so he bullies the victim. Another reason is that the individual is repeating acts of bullying that he has seen or experienced himself. This individual bullied other children because he had been a victim of abuse by his seniors. The impact of bullying greatly affected the mental health of students and even experienced trauma.
