Is
Bullies Can Good for The Children?
“Keep calm and say
no to bullying”. This sentences, that became the main slogan
of the "anti-bullying" community in United States, the cases
of bullying is very prevalent event occured among the children. Some people
knows that bullying use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse
or intimidation, so the behavior is often repated and habitual, but sometimes
bullying is useful for children self development.
Following a series of experiments
conducted over 2,000 schoolchildren aged between 11 and 12, psychologists
from theUniversity of California, Los Angeles (UCLA),
claim that being shouted at or bullying can be a good for our health. One may
argue that to being bullies as well, for one of some victims will learn how to
stand up or deal with bullies, like of some exercise to face the real world.
It’s mean that bullies can help to stimulate the children self development.
On the other hand, some of people
stating that bullies preciesly just brings an negative effect for the children,
it can cause physical and emotional pain, such us mental disorders, hurt
feeling, getting lower grades, changes in sleeping and eating, until an serious effect like suicide or make
someone crazy. Some of these effect can last for a long time, even into
adulthood.
The truth is that there are many bullying situations
in which the victim cannot simply beat up the bully and end the problem. The
very nature of bullying renders victims fearful, frozen and incapable of
defending themselves. According to bullying researcher Dan Olweus, bullying is
characterized by three factors. First, It is repetitive, not a one-time event
in the hall, but a regular ongoing problem. Second, It is unwanted, not two-way
teasing where both parties are having fun, but instead a situation where
someone is on the receiving end of taunts and aggression. And It takes place in
the context of a power imbalance, a bigger kid against a smaller kid, or
multiple kids against a single kid, or a kid with more social capital against a
kid with less social capital.
Having said these, bullying is just about an
negative effect than the positive impact, In
trying to stop bullying, you may avoid
the location where the bullying is happening. They might change the way they
dress or act in order to minimize the bullying, but then they suffer pangs for
not being true to who they are.
