Cultural
Individuals think that it is fine to select people who are different based
on religion, appearance and even disability. People do not report
bullying for fear of it worsening and the society encourages this
perspective. For instance, when a boy is told to be strong physically
which encourages them to bully others. Many, think that bullying is
part of social and cultural practices as one grows up and that an
individual should be stronger, have a thick skin and suck it up.
Bullying is a sociocultural issue that affects the country on a larger
scale than thought (Pörhölä et al., 2019). Bullying as a Socio-cultural
Phenomenon theory identifies individuals most at risk of becoming
bullying victims because of a perceived difference and therefore
considered a threat to wider group norms. It could include people from
disadvantaged backgrounds, minority ethnic groups, and people with
learning difficulties or disabilities. The curricular approaches to
antibullying in schools address the socio-cultural phenomenon
through events which celebrate diversity and promote acceptance of
individuality. Research presents mixed evidence whereby
victimization is more likely to happen in large, inner city schools,
which are typified by a multicultural population with low social
economic status and a high level of need. In support of these findings,
there is evidence of victimization in schools serving students from
disadvantaged backgrounds. Children with learning difficulties are
especially at risk of school bullying
(ThinkCEU, 2016).
Social Roles
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
In every part of the world bullying is used to maintain social order and
ensure that no one acquires too much dominance, status, or personal
power. In other cases, bullying is harmful and used to injure others
physically, emotionally, or socially (Wang et al, 2009). There are
multiple social roles when it comes to bullying. Some of these roles
include, the bully, the person or group being bullied, those who assist
in bullying, those who reinforce bullying, bystanders, and those who
defend the group or individual being bullied. Those who bully is a
person who those bully their peers and those that are bullied are
usually the people who are perceived as “weird” or different for any
number of reasons (New Zealand Ministry of Education, n.d.). For
example, a person may be perceived as weird or different if they are
overweight or if they are different in what clothes they wear which
could depend on factors such as their socioeconomic status or what
they prefer such as gothic clothing. The people who assist in bullying
encourage bullying, however, they themselves do not participate in the
direct bullying of people. Next, is those who reinforce bullying. The
people that reinforce bullying do not participate but they laugh or egg
on the bully. Bystanders do not encourage nor discourage the bully
and those defend those being bullied standup for the victims and put a
stop to this vicious cycle. By understanding these roles, it helps to
show how different people fit into bullying (New Zealand Ministry of
Education, n.d.).
Social Inequalities
Social inequalities and bullying have a strained relationship. Some of
the social inequalities that lead to bullying include race, gender, social
class, body size, and sexuality. These issues are prevalent when it
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
comes to bullying because it can show reasons in which some people
are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).
Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).

social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).
Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).
Social Roles
In every part of the world bullying is used to maintain social order and
ensure that no one acquires too much dominance, status, or personal
power. In other cases, bullying is harmful and used to injure others
physically, emotionally, or socially (Wang et al, 2009). There are
multiple social roles when it comes to bullying. Some of these roles
include, the bully, the person or group being bullied, those who assist
in bullying, those who reinforce bullying, bystanders, and those who
defend the group or individual being bullied. Those who bully is a
person who those bully their peers and those that are bullied are
usually the people who are perceived as “weird” or different for any
number of reasons (New Zealand Ministry of Education, n.d.). For
example, a person may be perceived as weird or different if they are
overweight or if they are different in what clothes they wear which
could depend on factors such as their socioeconomic status or what
they prefer such as gothic clothing. The people who assist in bullying
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
encourage bullying, however, they themselves do not participate in the
direct bullying of people. Next, is those who reinforce bullying. The
people that reinforce bullying do not participate but they laugh or egg
on the bully. Bystanders do not encourage nor discourage the bully
and those defend those being bullied standup for the victims and put a
stop to this vicious cycle. By understanding these roles, it helps to
show how different people fit into bullying (New Zealand Ministry of
Education, n.d.).
Social Inequalities
Social inequalities and bullying have a strained relationship. Some of
the social inequalities that lead to bullying include race, gender, social
class, body size, and sexuality. These issues are prevalent when it
comes to bullying because it can show reasons in which some people
are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they

social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).
Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).
Social Roles
In every part of the world bullying is used to maintain social order and
ensure that no one acquires too much dominance, status, or personal
power. In other cases, bullying is harmful and used to injure others
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
physically, emotionally, or socially (Wang et al, 2009). There are
multiple social roles when it comes to bullying. Some of these roles
include, the bully, the person or group being bullied, those who assist
in bullying, those who reinforce bullying, bystanders, and those who
defend the group or individual being bullied. Those who bully is a
person who those bully their peers and those that are bullied are
usually the people who are perceived as “weird” or different for any
number of reasons (New Zealand Ministry of Education, n.d.). For
example, a person may be perceived as weird or different if they are
overweight or if they are different in what clothes they wear which
could depend on factors such as their socioeconomic status or what
they prefer such as gothic clothing. The people who assist in bullying
encourage bullying, however, they themselves do not participate in the
direct bullying of people. Next, is those who reinforce bullying. The
people that reinforce bullying do not participate but they laugh or egg
on the bully. Bystanders do not encourage nor discourage the bully
and those defend those being bullied standup for the victims and put a
stop to this vicious cycle. By understanding these roles, it helps to
show how different people fit into bullying (New Zealand Ministry of
Education, n.d.).
Social Inequalities
Social inequalities and bullying have a strained relationship. Some of
the social inequalities that lead to bullying include race, gender, social
class, body size, and sexuality. These issues are prevalent when it
comes to bullying because it can show reasons in which some people
are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type

are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).
Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).
Social Roles
In every part of the world bullying is used to maintain social order and
ensure that no one acquires too much dominance, status, or personal
power. In other cases, bullying is harmful and used to injure others
physically, emotionally, or socially (Wang et al, 2009). There are
multiple social roles when it comes to bullying. Some of these roles
include, the bully, the person or group being bullied, those who assist
in bullying, those who reinforce bullying, bystanders, and those who
defend the group or individual being bullied. Those who bully is a
person who those bully their peers and those that are bullied are
usually the people who are perceived as “weird” or different for any
number of reasons (New Zealand Ministry of Education, n.d.). For
example, a person may be perceived as weird or different if they are
overweight or if they are different in what clothes they wear which
could depend on factors such as their socioeconomic status or what
they prefer such as gothic clothing. The people who assist in bullying
encourage bullying, however, they themselves do not participate in the
direct bullying of people. Next, is those who reinforce bullying. The
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
people that reinforce bullying do not participate but they laugh or egg
on the bully. Bystanders do not encourage nor discourage the bully
and those defend those being bullied standup for the victims and put a
stop to this vicious cycle. By understanding these roles, it helps to
show how different people fit into bullying (New Zealand Ministry of
Education, n.d.).
Social Inequalities
Social inequalities and bullying have a strained relationship. Some of
the social inequalities that lead to bullying include race, gender, social
class, body size, and sexuality. These issues are prevalent when it
comes to bullying because it can show reasons in which some people
are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type

are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).
Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).
Social Roles
In every part of the world bullying is used to maintain social order and
ensure that no one acquires too much dominance, status, or personal
power. In other cases, bullying is harmful and used to injure others
physically, emotionally, or socially (Wang et al, 2009). There are
multiple social roles when it comes to bullying. Some of these roles
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
include, the bully, the person or group being bullied, those who assist
in bullying, those who reinforce bullying, bystanders, and those who
defend the group or individual being bullied. Those who bully is a
person who those bully their peers and those that are bullied are
usually the people who are perceived as “weird” or different for any
number of reasons (New Zealand Ministry of Education, n.d.). For
example, a person may be perceived as weird or different if they are
overweight or if they are different in what clothes they wear which
could depend on factors such as their socioeconomic status or what
they prefer such as gothic clothing. The people who assist in bullying
encourage bullying, however, they themselves do not participate in the
direct bullying of people. Next, is those who reinforce bullying. The
people that reinforce bullying do not participate but they laugh or egg
on the bully. Bystanders do not encourage nor discourage the bully
and those defend those being bullied standup for the victims and put a
stop to this vicious cycle. By understanding these roles, it helps to
show how different people fit into bullying (New Zealand Ministry of
Education, n.d.).
Social Inequalities
Social inequalities and bullying have a strained relationship. Some of
the social inequalities that lead to bullying include race, gender, social
class, body size, and sexuality. These issues are prevalent when it

social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type

comes to bullying because it can show reasons in which some people
are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).
Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).
Social Roles
In every part of the world bullying is used to maintain social order and
ensure that no one acquires too much dominance, status, or personal
power. In other cases, bullying is harmful and used to injure others
physically, emotionally, or socially (Wang et al, 2009). There are
multiple social roles when it comes to bullying. Some of these roles
include, the bully, the person or group being bullied, those who assist
in bullying, those who reinforce bullying, bystanders, and those who
defend the group or individual being bullied. Those who bully is a
person who those bully their peers and those that are bullied are
usually the people who are perceived as “weird” or different for any
number of reasons (New Zealand Ministry of Education, n.d.). For
example, a person may be perceived as weird or different if they are
overweight or if they are different in what clothes they wear which
could depend on factors such as their socioeconomic status or what
they prefer such as gothic clothing. The people who assist in bullying
encourage bullying, however, they themselves do not participate in the
direct bullying of people. Next, is those who reinforce bullying. The
people that reinforce bullying do not participate but they laugh or egg
on the bully. Bystanders do not encourage nor discourage the bully
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
and those defend those being bullied standup for the victims and put a
stop to this vicious cycle. By understanding these roles, it helps to
show how different people fit into bullying (New Zealand Ministry of
Education, n.d.).

comes to bullying because it can show reasons in which some people
are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).
Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).
Social Roles
In every part of the world bullying is used to maintain social order and
ensure that no one acquires too much dominance, status, or personal
power. In other cases, bullying is harmful and used to injure others
physically, emotionally, or socially (Wang et al, 2009). There are
multiple social roles when it comes to bullying. Some of these roles
include, the bully, the person or group being bullied, those who assist
in bullying, those who reinforce bullying, bystanders, and those who
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
defend the group or individual being bullied. Those who bully is a
person who those bully their peers and those that are bullied are
usually the people who are perceived as “weird” or different for any
number of reasons (New Zealand Ministry of Education, n.d.). For
example, a person may be perceived as weird or different if they are
overweight or if they are different in what clothes they wear which
could depend on factors such as their socioeconomic status or what
they prefer such as gothic clothing. The people who assist in bullying
encourage bullying, however, they themselves do not participate in the
direct bullying of people. Next, is those who reinforce bullying. The
people that reinforce bullying do not participate but they laugh or egg
on the bully. Bystanders do not encourage nor discourage the bully
and those defend those being bullied standup for the victims and put a
stop to this vicious cycle. By understanding these roles, it helps to
show how different people fit into bullying (New Zealand Ministry of
Education, n.d.).

class, body size, and sexuality. These issues are prevalent when it
comes to bullying because it can show reasons in which some people
are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).
Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).
Social Roles
In every part of the world bullying is used to maintain social order and
ensure that no one acquires too much dominance, status, or personal
power. In other cases, bullying is harmful and used to injure others
physically, emotionally, or socially (Wang et al, 2009). There are
multiple social roles when it comes to bullying. Some of these roles
include, the bully, the person or group being bullied, those who assist
in bullying, those who reinforce bullying, bystanders, and those who
defend the group or individual being bullied. Those who bully is a
person who those bully their peers and those that are bullied are
usually the people who are perceived as “weird” or different for any
number of reasons (New Zealand Ministry of Education, n.d.). For
example, a person may be perceived as weird or different if they are
overweight or if they are different in what clothes they wear which
could depend on factors such as their socioeconomic status or what
they prefer such as gothic clothing. The people who assist in bullying
encourage bullying, however, they themselves do not participate in the
direct bullying of people. Next, is those who reinforce bullying. The
people that reinforce bullying do not participate but they laugh or egg
on the bully. Bystanders do not encourage nor discourage the bully
and those defend those being bullied standup for the victims and put a
stop to this vicious cycle. By understanding these roles, it helps to
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
show how different people fit into bullying (New Zealand Ministry of
Education, n.d.).

class, body size, and sexuality. These issues are prevalent when it
comes to bullying because it can show reasons in which some people
are bullied. For example, one reason in which people are bullied is
social class. Social class can determine many things such as the type
of clothes a person can afford. A person may be bullied because they
wear hand-me-downs instead of new name brand clothing as
compared to their peers that may be able to afford more expensive
clothing this would be a social inequality. The LGBTQ youth are
often subjected to harassment, abuse, and bullying because of their
sexual preferences, this bullying can come from multiple individuals
in their lives, including members of their sur-rounding communities,
families, and schools (Peguero, Anthony, 2012).

Impact of Social Change
Bullying continues to evolve from physical to online or Internet that
now constitutes the highest number of incidents. Cyberbullying is on
the rise and can occur at different age levels, with any gender, and can
relate to physical, cultural, racial, and even religious biases. The
psychological harm inflicted by cyberbullying is considered more
damaging than traditional bullying, as harmful material can be
preserved and quickly circulated. Cyberbullying is also related to
suicidal ideation among adolescents. Youth who experienced
traditional bullying or cyberbullying, as either an offender or a victim,
had more suicidal thoughts and were more likely to attempt suicide
than those who had not experienced such forms of peer aggression
( Hinduja, & Patchin, 2010). Examples of cyberbullying include
sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos
or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with
cell phones (Gordon, 2021).
