Bullying In Lord Of The Flies By William Goulding

Some bullies act they way they do because they have been hurt by bullies in the past even a parent or another adult. Some bullies actually have personality disorders that don’t allow them to understand normal emotions like guilt, empathy, compassion, or remorse. I think that schools need to do more about bullying. It affects many kids and keeps them from wanting to go to school to get an education. It would make victims feel better about themselves.

Some bullies may make fun of people because they were made fun of, beaten, or unwanted as they grew up. Most children become bullies to gain power (Verial). Bullies do what they do so they “feel competent, successful, to control someone else, to get some relief from their own feelings of powerlessness” (Garrett 72).When children grow up they may become bullies, because of the abusive environment they were raised in by their parents. Bullies usually have had a traumatic childhood or have personal problems (Verial). “A lack of consistent consequences and parenting can also lead to children exhibiting bully behaviors” (Hatter).

They may be really frustrated with their family so they take it out on others. Bullies may think it is cool, so they do it for the laughs. Their parents may even beat them or mistreat them. Most of the time I believe bullies are just insecure of themselves, so they feel better when they hurt others. When the bullies see that the kids are scared of them they feel more in control and alive.

In the past few years, bullying has gotten so bad that people decided to take their own lives to escape the pain. Bullies use violent behaviors to harm their victims verbally and physically. Usually, the victim is too frightened to fight back and too embarrassed to inform adults. People choose to bully others for a broad range of reasons (media or the want for power), but not getting love and attention from dysfunctional families is the main reason ("Why do people bully?" n.d.).

Their environment can have violence. Growing up around violence can mentally cause the person to be influenced to be mean to others. When children grow up around their parents yelling and calling each other names, the child then becomes aware to that kind of hospitality, then later treat others the way they grew up. Another example, why people become bullies because they may have gotten bullied from someone else, and then became a bully themselves after experiencing that. Bullies sometimes don’t choose just to be mean to others, there is usually a reason why they became that way.

in this article I was describe how to spot a bully, how to stop a bully and, how to prevent and help the bully. Most bullies are kids who like to feel power or like hurting people thinking it’s cool and to impress their friends. Some bullies come from families who don’t get along well and argue all the time. Some of them also think it’s normal to act as they do if their parents or sibling

The nature of a bully depends on many factors such as sex, age, and past experiences. Depending on the nature of the bully, their actions can have many negative effects on others. Bullies display many characteristics such as aggression, rivalry, and competitive behavior. Bullying occurs in many different places, a good example is in the novel The Lord of the Flies. Jack, the antagonist in this novel, displays many characteristics of a bully.

Bullying is undesirable, antagonistic manner among school going children that involves a real alleged power discrepancy. The power imbalance comes about because the bullies uses their physical strength, their power, embarrassing information, obnoxious language, or their reputation to control or maltreat other kids. The bullies are prone to recap the behavior over time. The act for bullying is agonizing because those bullied are long affected by the act and may live in fear in their life. Issues have arisen whether the bully should receive a special form of punishment at a particular age because just like the other offenses bullying should be punishable.

A bully often chooses to physically or verbally harass the victim in front of other students so they draw as much attention as possible. The result of publicly humiliating the victim is an inflated ego for the bully. In my opinion, physical bullying is the most difficult for the individual being bullied because he or she sees themselves as helpless and a “ loser.” The victim fears being laughed at and harassed by others who choose to join in with the bully. As with cyber bullying, the individual targeted by a bully represses his or her emotions. The victim is afraid to tell anyone how he or she feels because of the fear of further physical or verbal bullying.

Bullies have immature social skills and believe other children are more aggressive than they actually are. If you brush up against a bully, he may take it as a physical attack and assault you because "you deserve it, you started it," etc. Drs. Kenneth Dodge and John Coie's research indicates that bully’s see threats where there are none, and view other children as more hostile than they are. The hyperactive bully will explode over little things because he lacks social skills and the ability to think in depth about a
