ABSTRACT

Bullying is done via social media and this is getting harder and harder for schools to monitor. Unfortunately, bullying is something that is still occurring in our schools and despite many programmes aimed at intervention it appears that more and more students are reporting being bullied at some point throughout their education. The website Stomp out Bullying, provides a very good resource as to why students bully others, as well as methods that are good to use to support students who are victims of bullying. Students feel power through putting others down and it feels good, resulting in bullying behaviours. Some students are different in how they look the things they like and how they behave and often this is not tolerated due to the role modelling provided at home.
