Abstract |
|
|
| Bullying can be defined as a repeated aggressive or harmful behaviour against a person who cannot defend him/herself. In most cases, it involves children and adolescents around the world. The victims of bullying tend to have low selfesteem, where, in some cases, they may commit suicide. The victims, perpetrators, and witnesses of bullying may have long term consequences on their social life and health. Children are bullied because of a lack of coping mechanisms, their appearance, and speech. Their fellow children are the perpetrators because they like comparing with each other. Worldwide, about 17-69% of 13-year-old students have reported that they have been bullied (AlBuhairan et al., 2016). People are bullied because the perpetrator perceives some vulnerability. Prevention programs have helped in controlling bullying cases in countries in the world. |
