In a study conducted in June 2021. it was found that 44.4 percent of school students in Bangladesh suffered from bullying.
Bullying typically refers to deliberate actions or repeated behaviour that can be verbal, physical, psychological, or social, which cause a serious extent of intimidation or offence to someone else. Such actions undermine, humiliate, and cause both physical and emotional harm to the subjects. Young students especially tend to be extremely vulnerable to bullying, mainly because many of them are not entirely aware of the concept that is, victims do not realise that they are being bullied, and bullies do not realise that they are causing harm.
In a report by Unesco published in October 2019, it was shown that 23 percent of school students in Bangladesh are victims of bullying. In another study conducted in June 2021, it was found that 44.4 percent of school students in Bangladesh suffered from bullying. These data give us an idea of the prevalence of bullying in our country and how it is becoming a pressing issue by the day.
Existing data suggest that 44.4 percent of school students had experienced bullying victimisation. This is comparable to another study, according to a survey report by Unicef, which included a sample from 122 countries, where 35 percent of children aged between 13 and 15 years in Bangladesh said they experienced bullying at school.
Many children start bullying others without the knowledge of the consequences, not realising that their actions may be hurtful, as the actions often leave them with a feeling of authority over others. On the other hand, many children suffer from external trauma within their personal lives and tend to normalise crude behaviour within themselves, exerting their pent-up frustration on other children. Flipping the coin towards another perspective, many bullies have often been victims themselves.
Mostly, bullies go on to suffer negative impacts further down the line. Issues in relationships with friends and family, difficulty coping with varying work environments, anxiety disorders, and many more problems may arise as they transition into adulthood. The victims of bullying, on the other hand, grow up with serious mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, inferiority complex, eating disorders, and loneliness. Moreover, bullied children may also resort to becoming bullies themselves, keeping the cycle going.
Moreover, the counselling department of the school could also take initiatives such as organising workshops, conducting one-on-one sessions, and assigning a monitor among the students who would proactively address uncalled-for situations and inform teachers of them. Schools could also install complaint boxes which students can write to the authorities about any incidents that made them feel uncomfortable. To deal with such situations, students might also adopt a few strategies, such as standing up for each other, facing the bully in a group, and uniting against the bully to tackle him/her. As part of the development measure, they should be trained in groups from an early age to deal with such behaviour in a group.

According to a study conducted in June 2021, 44.4 percent of school students in Bangladesh suffered from bullying. This shows that nearly half of the student population is affected. It indicates that bullying is a serious and widespread issue in the country.
2. How does the passage define bullying?
The passage defines bullying as deliberate or repeated behavior that can be verbal, physical, psychological, or social. It is meant to intimidate, humiliate, or harm someone emotionally or physically. Such acts are damaging to a person's mental and physical well-being.
3. Why are young students especially vulnerable to bullying?
Young students are especially vulnerable because they often don't understand what bullying is. Victims may not realize they are being harmed, and bullies may not understand they are causing harm. This lack of awareness makes it harder to address the issue early.
4. What does the Unesco report published in 2019 say about bullying in Bangladesh?
The Unesco report states that 23 percent of school students in Bangladesh were victims of bullying. This figure, although lower than the 2021 report, still shows a significant issue. It indicates that bullying has been a long-standing problem.
5. What similarities or differences exist between the Unicef and Unesco reports?
The Unicef report, which includes data from 122 countries, says 35 percent of children aged 13 to 15 experienced bullying. The Unesco report found 23 percent of students in Bangladesh were bullied. Both reports show that bullying is common, but the numbers vary depending on the sample and time.
6. How do bullies typically begin bullying others?
Many bullies start without knowing the consequences of their actions. They may feel powerful or superior, which encourages repeated behavior. Some bullies are reacting to personal trauma or trying to release frustration.
7. What psychological effects do bullies suffer later in life?
Bullies often face problems in relationships and workplaces. They may develop anxiety and struggle with emotional control. These effects can continue into adulthood, affecting their quality of life.
8. What mental health issues do victims of bullying face?
Victims often suffer from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and feelings of loneliness. Some may also develop an inferiority complex. These issues can have long-lasting impacts on their personal and academic life.
9. How does the cycle of bullying continue?
Sometimes, victims of bullying become bullies themselves. This happens because they internalize aggressive behavior as normal. Without proper support, this cycle keeps repeating.
10. What role can school counselling departments play in preventing bullying?
School counselling departments can organize workshops and one-on-one sessions. They can help students understand the impact of bullying and support victims. This proactive approach helps reduce bullying cases.
11. What are the suggested preventive measures schools can adopt?
Schools can assign monitors to report incidents, hold awareness programs, and use complaint boxes. These steps encourage students to speak up. It also creates a safer school environment.
12. What strategies can students use to handle bullying?
Students can stand up for one another, confront bullies in groups, and unite against them. These actions discourage bullies and build solidarity. Support from peers is often effective in reducing bullying.
13. What is the purpose of installing complaint boxes in schools?
Complaint boxes allow students to report bullying anonymously. This reduces fear of retaliation. It helps teachers and authorities address issues promptly.
14. Why might bullies come from traumatic backgrounds?
Some bullies experience trauma in their personal lives. They may be exposed to violence or neglect. As a result, they normalize aggressive behavior and repeat it at school.
15. What is the significance of training students in groups from an early age?
Group training helps students learn teamwork and empathy. It prepares them to respond collectively to bullying. Early education builds confidence and unity.
16. How do repeated bullying behaviors affect school environments?
Repeated bullying creates fear and stress among students. It harms academic performance and student well-being. A toxic environment makes it hard for students to thrive.
17. Do all bullies understand the impact of their actions?
Not all bullies understand the damage they cause. Many do not realize their behavior is harmful. Education and awareness are key to changing this.
18. How can schools ensure the success of anti-bullying measures?
Schools must involve students, teachers, and parents in anti-bullying efforts. Consistent monitoring and open communication are essential. A strong support system ensures effectiveness.
19. What role does peer support play in addressing bullying?
Peer support empowers victims and discourages bullies. It builds a sense of belonging and safety. Students feel stronger when they know others stand with them.
20. Why is it important to address bullying from both the victim’s and bully’s perspectives?
Understanding both sides helps break the cycle of bullying. Victims need support to heal, and bullies need guidance to change. A balanced approach ensures long-term solutions.
Summary of the passage
A study in June 2021 found that 44.4% of school students in Bangladesh face bullying. Bullying includes repeated verbal, physical, psychological, or social abuse that harms others emotionally or physically. Many students do not even realize they are being bullied, and bullies may not know they are hurting others. Reports by UNESCO and UNICEF also show high rates of bullying in schools. Some children bully due to personal trauma or to feel powerful. Both bullies and victims suffer later in life with mental health issues like anxiety and depression. To reduce bullying, schools should arrange workshops, counselling, complaint boxes, and student monitors. Students should be trained to stand united against bullies and support each other from an early age to break the cycle of bullying.
