Abstract
There can be little question that bullying exacts a terrible price upon victims. For one thing, there is the element of fear that is constantly being injected into their daily lives; there is also the depression and the bouts of hopelessness and despair that accompany being denigrated and pushed around by another party on a habitual basis. Beyond that, the frequent victims of bullying in school can easily become embittered and angry, to the point that they start acting out in anti-social and destructive ways. With all that in mind, the following paper will look at the costs of school place bullying, what creates the middle school bully and what is needed to stop such conduct before it leads to tragic consequences. Ultimately, I conclude that strong parenting which combines equal measures love and toughness, along with assertive conduct from teachers and administrators, is the best means by which middle school bullying can be thwarted.

From the Paper
"Middle school aged children are in a seriously challenging period of emotional, social and physical adjustment. Challenges to students, parents and educators are multiple as these adjustments take place and many antisocial behaviors are observable in the population, in and out of the classroom. "Sex. Drugs. Puberty. Algebra. These are just a few of the problems that parents have to worry about when their eleven-year-old walks through the doors of middle school. The eleven-year-old, meanwhile, has to be brave in a scary new world filled with constant change that creates self-doubt and emotional turmoil." (Bernstein, 2002, p. 1) Bullying is an insidious aspect of the middle school years and must be addressed and dealt with like any other behavioural psychological problem. "The harsh reality of the bully/victim dyad is experienced by thousands of children every day..." "

Young children learn from their parents and they are influenced by their genetic makeup, which influences their personality type e.g., shy outgoing, smart, athletic or neurotic. They will also be influenced by where they live, a busy city or a small town, by what their parents do, whether they are..."

From the Paper
"Bullying is a pervasive problem within schools and is recognized as such, with a large body of literature collected on how and to what extent bullying can impact the bully, the victim, and the social structure in which bullying occurs. Its impact on the bully and the victim are less understood, where bullying tends to be explored within the context of a specific finite environment."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of childhood bullying from both the victim's perspective, as well as the victimizer. The writer notes that Dan Olweus is considered to be the leading expert in childhood bullying. The writer then points out that Olweus conducted the first study of schoolhouse bullying in the 1970's in Norway. Further the writer concludes that his findings are quite remarkable in terms of the reasons why children become bullies and the type of person they target to victimize.

From the Paper
"According to some researchers, bullying has long been apart of social behavior and is common practice throughout the world. It has long been perceived that childhood bullying is a right of passage and a part of growing up regardless if you are male or female, bullying is experienced by both genders. These days childhood bullying has become a form of schoolhouse violence where kids are being tormented, abused physically and mentally, and alienated from society. According to some experts, childhood bullying is on the rise and has detrimental effects on children's social and emotional development."

This problem is seen as international in scope.The paper describes bullying or intimidation and aggression as coming from many sources including the nurse's supervisor, but the most common form is from co-workers. Whereas nurses would expect aggressive behavior on a psychiatric unit or in emergency, nurses who work in general medical, surgical and high dependency areas also experience high levels of aggression from other nurses.

From the Paper
"The researcher, as a number of researchers, such as Ruth Namie, for instance, has personally experienced bullying in the workplace. At the time the bullying occurred, which lasted for 15 months and finally ended a year and a half ago, the researcher did not realize the actions by the researcher's female supervisor did, in fact, constitute bullying. Right after the researcher contacted HR in tears, with overwhelming fear, the researcher had to be hospitalized for two weeks as a result of the bullying induced PTSD and anxiety/depression.
"Despite the horrific experience of being bullied at work during this time, by a "serial bully," who was, nevertheless, found "not guilty" after the company investigation, the researcher managed to keep life intact. Currently, the researcher works as a Crisis Clinician under a different supervisor who instead of engaging in workplace bullying makes a point to treat subordinates with respect and is sensitive to their perceptions.
"Following the trying, debilitating experience of being a victim of workplace bullying, the researcher determined to complete this present dissertation on Workplace Bullying. After researching the phenomenon and discovering the Bullying Institute, the researcher accumulated a myriad of articles on this contemporary, increasing harmful phenomenon. The researcher finds particularly discouraging that in the workplace, women frequently bully other women. From the researcher's personal experience, it became evident that the individual being bullied experiences a difficult time adjusting to the bullying that occurs in the organization."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the classrooms of today are filled with students of diverse cultures, socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity, and learning and physical ability. The writer discusses that the topic of bullying has emerged in the past few years as an issue of growing concern among students, parents, and school administrators alike. The writer explains that bullying can best be defined as repeated oppression, physical or psychological, of a less powerful person by a more powerful person or group. This paper examines bullying in terms of gender differences, both "bully" and "victim" characteristics, and the causes and consequences of bullying for all those involved. The writer concludes that the problems associated with bullying must not become accepted in the educational system, and remain an obstacle to fostering human learning and development.

From the Paper
"The various types and methods of bullying also vary with boys and girls. Research by Chu indicates that boys are the primary bullies and victims on the streets, playgrounds and schools, whereas girls are the primary bullies and victims of bullying performed online. According to Chu, nearly one third of the eighth grade girls surveyed reported being bullied online in the previous two months. This is comparable to the 10% of boys bullied online. The reason for the difference between the gender in bullying online is that online, an individual's identity can be hidden, and girls may feel more comfortable being the bully if no one knows their real identity. Rigby indicates that girls are usually more empathetic than boys, both in recognizing the emotion someone else is having, and in feeling that same emotion themselves. Furthermore, research indicates that girls are generally more empathetic than boys toward the victims of aggression. Thus, gender does account for the differences between bullying."
