Perceptions of Bullying Behavior . How Interesting.

Before the mid nineteenth century formal schooling was mainly a luxury for the rich (Derber & Magrass,2015) .  British private schools called public schools were an alternative to being home schooled y a governess. Schools were expected to breed decorum , manners, and refinement among gentlemen. Although students were required to study formal subjects such as latin , grammer , and mathematics ; these were  secondary in importance. In preparing students for the labor market schools typically teach that learning is work not fun and take pleasure out of learning . But how does this relate to bullying often seen in many schools across America . Recently an appraisal of perception with regard to exactly what causes a person to become a victim of bullying were discussed with interesting feedback obtained . It seems that in reciprocity of recommended changes of the learning environment made to parents of bullying victims yielded further bullying by other children within the school that the victims had switched to ; leading the parents and family members to believe that school officials or teachers were probably responsible for the incessent bullying. As perplexing as this may sound ; it was concretely believed by the parents and y other family members . For this reason assessing beliefs and perception of both teachers and parents as to the causes of bullying behavior is so very important ;it never occurred to the parents hat in changing schools the children would still be victims of bullying. he reason for this how ever is quite simple. Most children who are the victims of bullying behavior are bullied not because hey are defective in come way but because they are gifted in some unique way . Tis may include inelegance , potential , or physical attributes . This is most probably the reason as to why changing schools did not deture the bullying behavior . You cannot change your childrens attributes you see only strengthen them . Physical bullying is obviously in the toolbox of most boy bullies ; but Klein tells us girls bullies also use physical violence. Girls usually express their bullying behavior through ostracism , ridicule ,rumor spreading, text message and posted messages on the web(CDC.gov,2017). It is thought that this type of bullying behavior expressed by girls leads to capitalism in fact . In a 2015 nationwide survey 20% of high school students reported being bullied on school property .An estimated 16% of high school students reported in the year 2016 that they were bullied electronically through out the 12 months prior to survey application . This extensive  bullying has its repercussions on the brains tissues because it leads to cyclothemia ; a form of sever depression though to reverse because of the psychological process hat caused the changes I brain structure.  Bullying is an extensive public health issue because of the effect it has on potential work force currently found in our schools , particularly when its effects are estimated to last up to 40 years . What say you ?
