INTRODUCTION
Bullying in schools is a multifaceted problem with many consequences for all the
one (the victim), usually in a repetitive pattern. This kind of behaviors include verbal or
physical harassment that ranges from teasing, name calling and belittling, to pushing,
hitting and kicking respectively. Studies that attempt to measure the prevalence of this
without any harm, in most causes both victims, and perpetrators deal with various forms
of physical affects varying from elevated levels of anxiety and depression to physical
health problems spy- Cho somatic symptoms substance use and psychiatric problems
Even though there is a general agreement among the investigators that early
intervention can prevent these harmful effects, studies suggest that many violent
episodes in schools such as fighting, and bullying goes unreported and therefore the
victims deprive themselves the opportunity to receive the appropriate support to deal
with its psychological and physical health consequences. In Alabel National High School
bullying is an investable incidence considering that the school have a big number of
enrolled students. It is for this reason that the researcher’s want to study bullying issue

Theoretical Framework
The primary aim for the current study was to identify discrete classes of youth with
distinct patterns or groupings of the forms of bullying perpetrated. The second aim
victimization and internalizing problems. Finally, the association between the classes
and perceptions of safety, belonging, and bullying climate in school were explored. This
study is the first to examine patterns of bullying behaviors using LCA and account for
internalizing problems, safety, and belonging) and perceived school bullying climate.
The present study also adds to the literature by constructing a latent model of bullying
groupings using a larger sample, across a broader range of grades (middle and high
school students) than many other studies using an LCA approach (e.g., Wang et al.,
2010, 2012; Williford et al., 2011). Given the co-occurrence of different forms of bullying
(Wang et al., 2009, 2012), it seems unlikely that an exclusively physical or exclusively
relational aggression subtype would emerge. Rather, it was hypothesized that students
who bully would be highly involved in multiple forms of bullying. It was also expected
that there would be significant associations between bullying class membership and
adjustment. For example, being highly involved in multiple forms of bullying would be
associated with poor adjustment; more victimization and internalizing problems, poor

general, and poor perception of school bullying climate. Based on Wang and
colleague's LCA findings, it was expected that a verbal/relational subgroup and a low or
nonbullying subgroup would also be identified. As the physical forms of bullying tend to
be less common among high school youth, it was anticipated that there would be some
differences by school Evelin the classification of bullying behavior (e.g., with more sub
groups involving physical aggression in middle school than in high school). Similarly,
some gender differences in the patterns of bullying perpetrated were anticipated. Based
on previous research, it was expected that boys would be more likely to perpetrate more
physical forms of bullying than girls; gender differences in relational forms of bullying
Bullying is an important topic that needs to be studied. Most studies that have been
reviewed are among elementary, middle and high school students. The literature
reviewed did produce similar results to the study that was conducted at the University of
The types of bullying that males and females are involved in showed differences among
gender. Jolliffe, Darrick and Farrington (2011) found that males were more likely to be
involved in name-calling or violent bullying compared to females who were not. Jolliffe
et al. did find that females who were involved in bullying generally had lower cognitive
and affective empathy. Cognitive ability is defined as the ability to understand the
emotions of another, and an affective trait is defined as the ability to experience the
emotions of another person (Joliffe 29 et al, 2011:59). Duncan and Owens (2011) note
that there has been a lot of research on girls and their relational aggression, which
includes psychological and emotional attacks on other girls. An example of this would
be purposely ignoring a friend for no reason, which can lead to distress. These studies
focused on how males experienced physical bullying and girls experienced emotional
bullying.
In the Philippines, Republic Act No. 10627 otherwise known as the Anti – Bullying
Act of 2013, defines acts of bullying in schools and direct the schools to adopt policies
aimed at addressing bullying. The law prohibits bullying at a location, activity, function or
program that is not school-related and through the use of technology or an electronic
devise that is not owned, leased or used by a school if the act or acts in question create
a hostile environment at school for the victim, infringe on the rights of the victim at
school, or materially and substantially disrupt the education process or the orderly
operation of a school. There are three different types of bullies that are common in
schools today; physical bullies, verbal bullies, and relational bullies. Physical bullies are
just what they sound like, physical. These types of bullies tend to hit, kick, punch,
shove, or use any other type of physical exertion of energy towards other kid. Verbal
bullies are the types of bullies that use harsh words such as name-calling, insults, racial
victim. Verbal bullying is the most commonly reported type of bullying. Finally,
relational bullies are acts that single out victim from their peer group. This is mostly
done by the bully using verbal threats or spreading undesirable rumors about their
victims. While these types of bullying are not necessarily the stereotypical pictures that
come to mind when thinking about bullies, they are all very serious and can possibly
Bullying all over the world is becoming a primary concern among children,
adolescence and even adults. According to Abe (2012), it can occur in any context in
which human beings interact with each other. This includes school, church, family,
workplace, home, and neighborhoods. It is even a common push factor in migration and
it can exist between social groups, social classes and even between countries. Bullying
or group directed towards a less powerful person or group that is intended to cause
harm, distress or fear. In the countryside, despite the passing of the Republic Act
10627 or the Anti-Bullying Act and the Department of Education (DepEd) Child’s
Protection Policy, the DepEd documented more than 1,700 cases of child abuse and
bullying in school year 2013-2014. Of these, 60 percent were only resolved (Flores,
2014). Furthermore, in 20122013 DepEd report, 80% (1,165 out of 1,456) of the child
abuse cases involved acts of bullying (Malipot, 2013). Among the psychological and
verbal violence experienced in school in elementary and high school in 2009, ridiculing,
cursing and humiliating were the most rampant incidences (Dinopol, 2013). In this
regard, the role of school being an avenue for a stable and secure learning environment
is expected to provide an education that caters to students’ physical and mental well-
beings, to develop their self-confidence and helps their ability to pursue ambitions and
interests.
The movement to protect children from bullying represents a historic step forward in
children’s rights. In the past century, laws and policies concerning child labor, child
protection, social welfare, adoption, divorce, and criminal prosecution, among others,
have advanced the rights of children in the United States. The effort to prevent bullying
promises to extend to children a basic right to safety already afforded to adults. This
movement also intersects with important civil and human rights concerns for persons
with disabilities, racial and ethnic minorities, sexual minorities, women, and others who
constitute protected classes of individuals. Despite more than a decade of judicial and
2015), law and policy about bullying remain fragmented and inconsistent. The purpose

Social identity theory and social rules theory, as conceptually applied to workplace

research is required into group antecedents (both formal and informal groupings), as
well as continued research into individual factors, especially about perpetrators and
examine the interaction between each of these levels, rather than continuing to explore
them in isolation from each other. Fourth, as highlighted in this review, many of the
deficiencies in the literature have consequences for the development of individual and

The research is that ever conducted about bullying still in the circumstances of the

The research that will be done focuses on the handling attempt which is done by the
school toward the bullying act and tries to dig the student opinion about the forms of
handling that have been conducted as one of the base of advanced refinement for the
case of bullying. The Research which lift the bullying theme in the school has not been
abundant cli in the Indonesia or research commonly gets difficultly for the access.
Researchers in Australia, America and Europe have proved empirically the bullying
phenomenon in the psychological perspective, mental health and sociology, like Mark S.
Chappell et al research which uncover four important facts, which are first, the existence
of continuous bullying act in the junior high school, senior high school and college.
Second, bullying does not recognize the gender differentiation and the male student is

tend to do social bullying. Third, it has been found about the relation between bullying

The Chappell’s fourth fat is explored deeper by Ersilia Menesini et al’ that the bully
specifically has a serious psychic problem which lead to external symptoms which
includes the act of breaking and violating the rule and aggressive act. Where as the
victim of bullying tend to have internal problem, it is like the hobby of being alone and
keeping silent, somatic complaint, anxiety and depression. For the victim along with
doer both of them have internal and external problems which are significant compared
(U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2013). Bonifas and Frankel (2012) rely
on the definition created by the Hazelden Foundation (2008). They also use the term
“imbalance of power,” but add that it is intentional and repetitive aggression. Just as
people behave differently, bullying behavior manifests itself in myriad ways. These
more overt and often physical. Hitting, punching, and slapping are behaviors
associated with direct bullying. Direct bullying does not necessarily have to be physical.
Name-calling, making threats, and stealing belongings from others are also forms of
direct bullying. Indirect bullying uses exclusion as the fulcrum of the power shift. By
excluding someone, bullies increase their own feeling of power by usurping some of the
power of the victim, the excluded person(s). Bullying with indirect behavior may include
talking maliciously about the victim (McGrath, Jones, & Hastings, 2010). Both men and
women bully, and both men and women are victims of bullies. Direct physical bullying is
not completely a problem of males, but Bonifas and Frankel (2012) state that physical
bullying is more often associated with men. Women are more likely to bully in indirect

by an individual or group against another person (or persons) and which is repeated
over time. Placing a once-off offensive or hurtful public message, image or statement
on a social network site or other public forum where that message, image or
bullying behavior. This study aimed to know who mostly bullied students and what are
the coping mechanisms, causes, and what types of bullying they are being
experienced by gender among Grade 12- Students of Alabel National High School.
Based on the result and findings, it is recommended that according to the gender,
female students are mostly bullied students with 47 or 56% and male students are
only 38 or 45%. And having the highest number of 35 or 41% of students who were
bullied because of life situation, but both they just disregard the situation.
