School bullying is quite common in most schools. According to the American psychological Association, approximately 40% to 80% of school-age children experience bullying at some point during their school careers. Regardless of the grade level, socioeconomic environment, gender and religion, bullying can happen to anyone. Teachers need to have a certain level of awareness of this issue. This starts with understanding the three forms of bullying: physical, verbal and emotional.
Physical bullying is any unwanted physical contact between the bully and the victim. It is the most identifiable form of all. Verbal bullying is any injurious language or statement that causes the victim’s emotional suffering. Emotional bullying is any form of bullying that causes damanges to a victim’s emotional well-being.
The consequence of school bullying might be horrible. It is a major cause of school shooting. School shooters that died or committed suicide left behind evidence that they had been bullied. Therefore, enough attention should be given and practical measures should be taken by the school administration to address this issue.
在大多數(shù)學(xué)校，校園欺凌常有所聞。根據(jù)一項美國心理協(xié)會的調(diào)研，大約40%至80%的學(xué)齡兒童曾在他們的學(xué)校生涯中遭到欺凌。不論其年級水平、社會經(jīng)濟環(huán)境、性別及宗教信仰，校園欺凌可能會發(fā)生在任何人身上。教師們需要在一定程度上認(rèn)識到這一問題，而認(rèn)識這一問題首先要理解校園欺凌的三種形式：肢體欺凌、語言欺凌和情感欺凌。
肢體欺凌是指在欺凌者和受害者之間發(fā)生任何不必要的肢體接觸。它是所有欺凌形式中最可識別的一種形式。語言欺凌是指導(dǎo)致受害者情感痛苦的任何傷害性的語言或陳述。情感欺凌是指傷及受害者情緒健康的任何形式的欺凌。
校園欺凌可能會導(dǎo)致可怕的后果，其是導(dǎo)致學(xué)校槍擊事件的一大主因。證據(jù)表明：許多身亡或自殺的校園槍擊事件罪魁禍?zhǔn)衷獾狡哿�。因此，學(xué)校應(yīng)足夠重視校園欺凌這一問題，并采取切實可行的措施，由學(xué)校管理層來解決這一問題。
