Bullying in LiteratureBy: Mr. HoganEnglish 10CNS High Schooldhogan@nscsd.org Characterization of Bullying in Literature
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 doesn’t 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.
