Bullying: the Effects
The different types of bullying and the effects
Introduction
For my investigation I will be looking into bullying. Bullying is very common in today’s society. It can take place within schools, colleges, and even the workplace. People get bullied for various reasons. These can be because of their race, skin colour, clothing or even no reason at all.
I want to look into this subject in more detail and see the facts and figures and also find out peoples opinions regarding this topic.
Bullying is becoming more and more of an issue not just within schools but also amongst adults. I want to try and find out why people bully and if this is due to how they were brought up and where they live. People from rougher constituencies tend to bully people from more posh and quiet places because they are seen as more vulnerable.
Victims of bullying since a young age can affect them with both short an long term consequences. Victims of bullying are more likely to:
• Turn their anger inwards and become depressed
• Under-achieve because their self esteem has been knocked
• Avoid or cope badly in situations where they meet figures of authority
• Become reclusive and eventually lonely
• Or even become bullies themselves
This is why I believe this is an issue that needs to be noticed and taken seriously.
From my investigation I want to find out why people bully and what makes them do this and if it’s because of the way they are brought up, their friends or where they live. This will be the aim of my investigation and I will find out using various different methods.
Methodology
Throughout this investigation I will be researching using computers, books, newspapers and television documentaries to find out more information that will be of relevance to my subject. I will then compare my findings with my own research and see what I can find out. This will be my secondary research method.
I will be making questionnaires to hand out for people to fill in. It
