Reasons of Bullying
There
are many causes behind bullying.-:
- Don't like the person
being bullied.
- They find bullying fun
and interesting.
- Like to feel strong.
- They think it will make
them popular
Bullying behaviour can arise from
distrust, fear, misunderstanding, and lack of knowledge or jealousy -
all factors that schools can address in positive and proactive
ways. Bullying can also happen because the student gets a reaction they
like. This is where teaching student’s ways to effectively respond to
bullying behaviour is helpful.
- Reflects the attitudes
towards bullying in the wider community e.g. on the sports field, in
parliament,
- Limited state legislation
inadvertently condones school bullying or limits funding programs,
- Restricted funding
reduces training for teachers and limits implementation opportunities for
schools to deal with it effectively.
- Many school deny bullying
and refuse to confront it,
- Some schools pretend to
care, show you their policy but don’t actually implement or intervene
effectively when kids report bullying. They even allow staff to be
bullied.
- Many teachers are
handicapped by a lack of support from senior management at their school.
- Most schools don’t
actively involve or assist the families who role model inappropriate
behaviours to their children, influencing them to become targets, bullies
or both.
- Most schools allow
teachers or parents to bully or vice versa, creating an inappropriate role
model for their children. How can a bullied teacher help a bullied child?
- Most schools don’t place
formal expectations upon the onlookers/peer-group/ witnesses to intervene,
challenge, report or support both targets and bullies. Many schools adopt
the latest fashion in reducing bullying without considering an overall
plan and evaluating it regularly, or they use Band-Aid approaches.
