THE BULLYING PHENOMENON IN ROMANIAN SCHOOLS
THE BULLYING PHENOMENON IN ROMANIAN SCHOOLS

Summary/Abstract: Articles is aiming to conduct a systematic review of scientific literature on bullying phenomenon and tries to analyse its manifestation in Romanian schools. Bullying is a global phenomenon, usually neglected in schools around the world. The impact of the bullying is determined by the serious consequences not only for children who are victimized by aggressors, but also for those who initiate aggression. This is an important issue that will not be solved until a holistic approach (parents, teachers, specialists, local community, etc.) will address the reasons why children humiliate and intimidate others, and will identify the causes that trigger such behaviours. With the right guidance and training, children can acquire necessary skills to solve their problems instead of managing them by intimidating others. In order to provide such education and to successfully eliminate the aggression in schools, we must determine the causes and effects of school bullying. The most common causes of such behaviour can be the lack of empathy, egocentrism, pride, the superficiality of human relationships, and especially the exposure, assumption, imitation of similar patterns of behaviour - most of the time in physical or virtual environments.
