How Does Bulliying Affects A Student Academic Performance

How does bulliying affects a student academic performance
According to StopBullying.gov, a website managed by the U.S. Department of

Health & Human Services, nearly 50% of students in grades 4 through 12
experienced bullying within a given month and more than 70% of students
admit to having seen bullying occur in their school. Verbal and social bullying
are the two most common types, including things like name-calling, teasing,
spreading rumors, stealing belongings, sexual comments and gestures, or
physical violence. Physical bullying happens less often than social bullying
and cyberbullying, though it is becoming increasingly prevalent, is still less
common.
While many people assume that a little bit of bullying is harmless – it may
even be helpful for the child to teach them how to stick up for themselves. In
reality, however, an estimated 160,000 children miss school on any given day
due to fear of bullying by other students. Every day, more than 280,000
students are physically attacked in schools and one out of ten students who
drop out of school mentions repeated bullying as a factor. Bullying can have a
serious impact on a child’s educational experience, and not just by causing
him or her to miss school. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that
bullying has a negative impact on a child’s academic performance.

1.(CNN)Bullying isn't just about physical violence or emotional pain -- it can impact kids'
educations, too. Kids bullied their entire school career have declining test scores, a
growing dislike of school and failing confidence in their abilities, say the authors of a
study published Monday in the Journal of Educational Psychology. Researchers tracked
several hundred children in the United States from kindergarten through 12th grade,
and found nearly a quarter experienced chronic bullying through their school years.
2. Parents, educators, and lawmakers everywhere are worried about the impact of bullying and cyberbullying on
our kids. The impact on every aspect of a child's life can be far reaching. With the digital age, many kids don't just
have to worry about being bullied in the schoolyard. Instead, with the technology available today, bullies can reach
our kids at school, after school, and even in their own bedrooms. With smart phones, computers, tablets, and cell
phones, bullies are able to reach into a child's life and affect every aspect of it. Bullying and cyberbullying are no
longer a simple matter of standing up to the bully and having a face-off. It's no longer a simple matter.
3. Students who are bullied regularly do substantially worse in school, UCLA

psychologists report in a special issue of the Journal of Early Adolescence devoted to
academic performance and peer relationships. A high level of bullying was consistently
associated with lower grades across the three years of middle school. The students who
were rated the most-bullied performed substantially worse academically than their
peers. Projecting the findings on grade-point average across all three years of middle
school, a one-point increase on the four-point bullying scale was associated with a 1.5-
point decrease in GPA for one academic subject (e.g., math) — a very large drop.
4. Nov. 28, 2017—Bullying damages how students feel about their school, a new study suggests .
Research shows that being bullied changes a student’s school experience in general.
The study measured how three forms of victimization affected school climate at 12 Vermont middle and
high schools. Experiencing bullying, cyberbullying or harassment was linked to students feeling they
weren't safe, didn't belong and weren't treated fairly at school.
5. Bullying research has traditionally been dominated by largescale cohort

studies focusing on the personality traits of bullies and victims. These studies
focus on bullying prevalence, risk and protective factors, and negative
outcomes. A limitation of this approach is that it does not explain why
bullying happens. Qualitative research can help shed light on these factors.
This paper discusses the findings from four mainly qualitative research
projects including a systematic review and three empirical studies involving
young people to various degrees within the research process as respondents,
co-researchers and commissioners of research. Much quantitative research
suggests that young people are a homogenous group and through the use of
surveys and other large scale methods, generalizations can be drawn about
how bullying is understood and how it can be dealt with. Findings from the
studies presented in this paper, add to our understanding that young people
appear particularly concerned about the role of wider contextual and
relational factors in deciding if bullying has happened. These studies
underscore the relational aspects of definitions of bullying and, how the
dynamics of young people’s friendships can shift what is understood as
bullying or not. Moreover, to appreciate the relational and social contexts
underpinning bullying behaviors, adults and young people need to work
together on bullying agendas and engage with multiple definitions, effects
and forms of support. Qualitative methodologies, in particular participatory
research opens up the complexities of young lives and enables these insights
to come to the fore. Through this approach, effective supports can be
designed based on what young people want and need rather than those
interpreted as supportive through adult understanding.
