It starts with “pakikisalamuha” or act of mixing in which they acquire the same violent trait their peers possesses, then “pakikilahok” or act of joining in which they manifest the same violent actions that their friends do such as bullying others then “pakikibagay” or act of conformity with their peers in which they acquire the negative behavior of their friends. Bullying is one of the major causes for violence in school. With the help of power, students go off their limits to seek fun. This 5 minutes fun can be dangerous if done in wrong sense.

...the Netherlands Abstract Purpose: To examine whether traditional and cyber bullying victimization were associated with adolescent’s mental health problems and suicidal ideation at two-year follow-up. Gender differences were explored to determine whether bullying affects boys and girls differently. Methods: A two-year longitudinal study was conducted among first-year secondary school students (N = 3181). Traditional and cyber bullying victimization were assessed at baseline, whereas mental health status and suicidal ideation were assessed at baseline and follow-up by means of self-report questionnaires. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess associations between these variables while controlling for baseline problems. Additionally, we tested whether gender differences in mental health and suicidal ideation were present for the two types of bullying.

Among girls, both traditional and cyber bullying victimization were associated with mental health problems after controlling for baseline mental health.

...Bullying in Schools Patrick J. Mullan Empire State College Bullying in Schools There are times in one’s life when something so deeply touches us that we have to stop what we are doing and either blink, smile or cry. For me, such a moment occurred on January 3, 2013 when I read in The Staten Island Advance that a 15 year old girl threw herself in front of a bus while carrying a suicide note in her pocket. This young lady had lived close to my home in Staten Island. Her name was Amanda Cummings, a high school student and a very attractive young woman. It was revealed that she was the victim of bullying both at school. She was also bullied on her cell phone and on the internet when she was at home. Apparently there was some romantic imbroglio over a boy that triggered a group of teenagers to target Amanda with relentless bullying. The young Romeo was 19 years old and apparently he was also involved with the ringleader of the bullies. The gang of bullies urged Amanda to kill herself on numerous occasions. The 19 year old male eventually broke up with Amanda, but the bullying did not cease. Faced with non-ending bullying and the loss of the boy, Amanda felt that she had no choice but to end her short life. In the days that followed Amanda’s death, students at her school posted the vilest messages on her Facebook page and continued their bullying even after she was dead. They expressed happiness over her decision to die and ridiculed her. Not everyone on Facebook was abominable...

This crime is known as one of the most deadliest school massacres in the United States history (Pittaro). On the day of the massacre, previously to the attack both Erick D. Harris and Dylan B. Klebold placed small fire bombs in a field three miles away from the Columbine High School and another one a couple of miles away from the fire station. They had set the bombs to explode at 11:14 to distract all emergency personnel away from the school. The two boys then headed to the school...

...Case Analysis: Antisocial Personality Disorder People with antisocial personality disorder (ADP) behave in a manner that disregards another person’s rights. Many of the characteristics of antisocial personality disorder include, reckless behaviors toward oneself and others, aggression, difficulty planning, irritability, and impulsivity (Hansel & Damour, 2009). According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, antisocial personality disorder occurs in approximately 3% of males and 1% of females in the population (American Psychological Association, 2012). Additionally, people with antisocial personality disorder are manipulative toward others and initially behave in a charming, romantic, and loving manner (Hansel & Damour, 2009). Oftentimes the terms psychopath and sociopath are associated with people who have antisocial personality disorder because of the similar characteristics and behaviors. For example, lack of deep emotional connection, impulsivity, and continuous violations of social norms are characteristics of ADP and psychopathy (American Psychological Association, 2012). The case of Theodore Bundy provides an analysis of a man who meets the criteria for someone who has antisocial personality disorder. Many people and theorists have been interested in the story behind Theodore Bundy and television producers made movie reenacting Theodore Bundy’s acts of violence against several women. Theodore Bundy’s Background Theodore Bundy was born in...

...name Ted Bundy is the one that dominates. Before Bundy was executed in 1989, he confessed to killing more that thirty women in almost a dozen states across the U.S. during his four year long string of murders in the 70s. “The thing that set Ted Bundy away from the serial killer’s stereo typical analysis is that he was such a mainstream All-American man that the Washington State Republican Party hired him, so cunning that he escaped from jail, twice, and so dashing that a woman friend used to send marriage proposals to him on death row.” (www.crimemageyine.com) If this man was such a moral citizen, what could have brought him to the torturous murders of those young women? What psychological explanation is given on his behalf? I feel that a child’s upbringing and their exposure to different things can also trigger certain urges. Usually, the profile of a serial killer tends to be white heterosexual males in their twenties or thirties. While it is impossible to predict who will become a serial killer, there are traits that appear to be similar in all killers. These behaviors include cruelty to animals, bedwetting, lying, stealing, cheating, alcohol and drug abuse, and a very high fascination for pornography. A lot of these traits are prominent in Ted Bundy’s character. An obvious one was he was white, he had a history of torturing animals and was often found reading his grandfather’s porn magazines. The biggest question is how can someone of such great intelligence, highly...
