• Characterization of Bullying in Literature

2
Definition of Bullying

• Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among
  school aged children that involves a real or
  perceived power imbalance. The behavior is
  repeated, or has the potential to be repeated,
  over time. Both kids who are bullied and who
  bully others may have serious, lasting problems.

The Bully Cycle

• The Bully Cycle Who is Responsible for Keeping
  Us All Safe?
• Written by Gary Klugiewicz
• Bullying is a complex event. It is important for
  us all to understand that if we have a bullying
  problem in our school, social group, or
  workplace, we have a bigger problem than just one
  person, the bully, acting badly.
• A bully doesnt operate in a vacuum. The problem
  encompasses the entire group whether that is a
  school, a social group, or a workplace.

Bullying Cycle cont.

• The Bullying Cycle is made up of
• 1. the person who bullies,
• 2. the victim who gets bullied
• 3. the larger group that allows the bullying to
  continue. This larger group is made up of both
  peer group members and persons in authority who
  allow bullying to occur and continue.
• A key point is that bullying continues in any
  setting only when the group permits it through a
  sick sort of co-dependency.
