INTRODUCTION

Why does bullying occur?

A person can engage in bullying behaviour because they:

don't like the person being bullied.

find bullying fun.

like to feel tough and strong, in control.

think it will make them popular.

Students who are more likely to bully others are more likely to:

feel disconnected from school and dislike school

demonstrate good leadership skills

demonstrate good verbal skills and ability to talk themselves out of trouble

demonstrate low levels of moral reasoning and high levels of egocentric reasoning

believe that the use of aggression is an acceptable way to achieve their own goals

be preoccupied with their own goals and not concerned about the rights of others

show more emotional instability, as do those students who support them

be reasonably popular but more disliked than non-bullying peers

have high self esteem and an inflated view of themselves, especially about their social behaviour and influence

have lower levels of empathy than other students

have poor impulse control and poor anger management skills

Information that has been gathered by the user e.g. myself

this makes it more reliable for the topic that I have chosen as I
have asked the questions I needed to.

A example of this is my own survey that I produced and then

published so that people where able to answer and I could then
use the data that I collected as evidence.

PRIMARY SOURCES

Secondary research: stats, facts and figures that

have been found out by other people and the
published to be viewed by the public. This can
sometimes be unreliable as we dont first hand know
if the information given is right or not.

10 to 14 year old girls are more

at risk of suicide.

A study in Britain found that at

least half of suicides among
young people are related to
bullying.

Over 14% of high school

students have considered
suicide and almost 7% have
attempted it.

FACTS AND STATISTICS

Suicide is the third biggest cause of

death among young people. With
about 4,400 deaths per year. For
every suicide there is at least 100
suicide attempts among young
people.

Bully victims are between 2 to 9

times more likely to consider suicide.
