Bullying Is Not an Innate Trait but Is Shaped by the Environment
Published
Bullying remains a problem that frequently occurs in many environments. A report states that bullying does not stem solely from a person's character. On the contrary, this behavior is often shaped by the environment surrounding the perpetrator.
In the report, the most common form of bullying is teasing or jokes related to physical appearance, at 15.2 percent. Another form that also frequently appears is the spreading of bad rumors about other people. This data shows that bullying does not always take the form of physical violence. Words and behaviors that seem trivial can also hurt victims.
Experts and related parties emphasize that the environment plays an important role in preventing bullying. The family, school, and social circles can influence how a person behaves toward others. Therefore, prevention efforts need to be carried out together, not merely by blaming particular individuals.
Overall, understanding that bullying is shaped by the environment can help the public view this problem more accurately. By creating environments that are more mutually respectful, it is hoped that the number of bullying cases can be reduced.
