Bullying among children in schools, school buses and parks is a growing phenomenon that has pretty much always existed. Many factors explain why certain individuals tend to become bullies and others the victims, while some are neither bullies nor bullied.
First of all, the personality and temperament will have a lot of impact on whether or not the child will bully others. Bullies are known to be very confident, violent, impulsive and are not very empathic towards other’s feelings. Another factor that influences children to become bullies is the environment at home. This implies the way they were raised by their parents which is usually based on violence. Usually, parents of bullies tend to be more aggressive when time comes for discipline. Sometimes these children even witness domestic violence between other members of their family and somehow neglected. In school, in some cases, only very children who perform well in a discipline are rewarded, which can bring the others who have difficulties to be revolted and some might become aggressive. Peer groups also have an effect on the children’s behaviors and might even reinforce them. All these factors may explain, in some cases, why some children become bullies.
Usually, children start bullying at early ages, which implies that it is easier to correct the bad pattern that they have started. First off all, they should always be supervised by an adult who will restructure his or her aggressive comportments and should not have any contact with his victims unless they want to apologize sincerely and under supervision once again.
