Bullying exists in all communities, either in developed or developing societies from long years, it is considered the most common form of aggression and violence in schools. Multiple studies indicated that bullying makes schools to be unsafe places for students (Elsayed et al., 2019). Bullying is defined as repetitive violent behavior that occurs over time in relationships characterized by an imbalance in power and that can be manifested in many different ways. It is the systematic abuse among peers or a process of intentional and repetitive aggression,characterized by aggressive behavior that involves direct or indirect intimidation, insults, harassment, exclusion and/or discrimination (Oliveira et al., 2017). Bullying can take different forms, it can be physical which may involve kicking, hitting, taking personal belonging, pushing, e. t. c., it can also be verbal which involve teasing maliciously, calling the victim names, being shouted at, being humiliated, threat, isolation e. t. c., it can also be social, for example social exclusion, spreading of rumors, extortion, false gossip, mocking e. t. c., and it can also be cyber for example bringingdiscomfort to others through the use of cell phones and the internet, humiliation (Lee et al., 2017). Adolescence is arguably one of the most significant yet challenging developmental stages characterized by achieving numerous milestones, while dealing with rapidly unfolding emotional and social-relational incidents. At this stage of development, it is essential to have a healthy and successful completion of developmentally required tasks, as healthy adolescent progression impacts future biopsychosocial wellbeing (Zhang et al., 2019).
Mental health includes psychological and social wellbeing. It has a hug influence on how we think, feel and behave. A good state of mental health and wellbeing is required for an individual to carry out day to day functions. Mental health is important at every stage of an individual’ s life. Mental health defined by (WHO, 2018), as being physically, mentally and socially wellbeing, and the absence of disease. It is interconnected to the promotion of wellbeing, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of people affected by mental disorders.
Adolescence who are exposed to bullying report problems such as emotional trauma, a negative impact on school life, syndromes such as depression and anxiety, anxiety spectrum disorders such as social phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder, behaviors such as psychotic symptoms and somatic symptoms (e.g., stomach ache, headaches, dizziness, and back pain), sleep disorders, and physical damage in the short term (Çalışkan, et al., 2019).
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurses (PMHN) have the ability to assist in bullying prevention in schools by early detection by obtained information in active listening that becomes the basis for assessment andintervention activities. PMHN they are able to assist in implementing anti-bullying programs, assist victims, bullying and individuals who are present in a bullying incident, by providing counseling services, and they can also be utilized to teach students skills relating to their social contexts (Staples, 2016).
1.2 Statement Of The Problem
Bullying is a very serious problem in schools. If not seriously tackled, bullying can lead to absence from school, damage to school property and even death. Some students had been hospitalized as a result of bullying which consequently affected their academic performance. In some cases, the victims of bullying do not report incidences of bullying to their parents, guardians and teachers and end up being emotionally depressed and truants. Students with special needs are worse hit because by their very nature, they are very vulnerable. Several reports on bullying that students loitering during lesson while some play in nearby compounds refusing to go to school because of fear of being bullied. As noted by Aluede (2006) and Fajoju (2009), the use of guns, knives and other dangerous weapons is now more common than ever in Nigerian school system. This causal observation and several reported cases of bullying in schools prompted this investigation with a view to identify the common types of bullying and the causes, factors of bullying and, teachers’ perception about bullying and its impact on academic performance of students and school administrators strategies for managing bullying in school so that the environment could become student friendly for their effective learning. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the effect of bullying on children (a case study of selected primary school inNvuigwe). There is the need to be able to identify some bullying traits among schooling adolescents and techniques that could be adopted to curb or substantially reduce bullying among schooling adolescents.
