The Dangerous Effects of Bullying among the Students

Thesis Bullying in educational settings remains a commonplace everyday experience. The acts of
bullying include a wide range of malicious behaviors, including physical violence, threats, verbal
mockery, ostracism, and rumors spread toward vulnerable targets and typically repeated. Bullying
among students is very dangerous. It can affect not only the students who get bullied but also the
bullies, the witness of bullying, and the school itself as an educational institution.

Argument Children and teenagers who get bullied might experience several mental problems, such
as depression, anxiety, increased feeling of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep pattern, and loss
of interest in particular activities that they used to enjoy. These problems may be carried away until
they grow to be an adult. Besides, physical violence in bullying can lead to physical injuries.

The academic achievements of the victims will also get the impact. A UCLA study of 2.300 students in
eleven middle schools in Los Angeles found that a high level of bullying was associated with lower
grades across three years of middle schools. Students who were rated as the most bullied performed
significantly worse academically than their peers.

Victims, however, are not the only ones who suffer from bullying. While victims often fare the worst
on a variety of measures, pure bullies also experience difficulties. They are at increased risk of some
mental health problems and are likely to encounter difficulty maintaining positive relationships as
adults. More significantly, bullies are considerably more likely to behave roughly, get into fights, be
engaged into vandalism, abuse alcohol and drugs, as well as being convicted of crimes.

Students who witness bullying have a big tendency to feel insecure when they are at school. They
are also more likely to have mental problems such as depression, anxiety feeling, and traumatic
feeling from witnessing the incident. Moreover, they are also at high risk of using drugs and alcohol
to relieve their stress.

Ultimately, the school, where the act of bullying happens also can get the impacts. It makes the
students feel insecure and creates a non-conducive school environment, which leads to ineffective
teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, it makes morality education and spirit of learning at
the school need to be questioned.

Reiteration on several facts above, it is obvious that bullying among students is very dangerous. It
can cause a physical and mental health problem, quality declining in academic performance due to
the ineffective teaching and learning activities, and makes people doubt the role of the school in
educating the students.
