In life we all come across what one will define as bullying. Rather it be you the direct person who is doing the bullying or, you’re on the other end and the one being bullied. The major question of all time would remain to be “What causes bullying and where does it come from?” Many people try and figure out who created bullying and why, I myself have sometimes wondered what inhuman person would devise something so hateful and hurtful. Based on the students guide to research I believe that the first step needed to analyze bullying would be reviewing existing knowledge, because people have an existing understanding of what it is to be bullied or what it is to be a bull there is an existing knowledge and if we rely on that to better analyze causes people to want to bully it will allot us a better understanding of what it actually means to be bullied.
As a teenager or even a preteen growing up and being surrounded by peers at school or even family members, you feel the need to just want to fit in. There may be things different about you and people may notice them but in your mind you are equal to them and feel you should be treated the same way they are. However because there are children who are exposed to biased behavior towards other ethnicities, cultures, and races, and are taught to treat those who are different from who they are the opposite of how they are treated it creates bulling. I believe that the most important aspect of bulling relates to the agents of socialization. No one is born being a bully this is something that is taught. Children grow up around family members and friends and they watch everything that they see and they replicate it. For example as a child I grew up around all boys I was the only girl for a very long time, all of my older cousins were rough and would play fight with each other
