BULLYING (উৎপীড়ন/নিপীড়ন)

Bullying means deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal. physical, social behaviour or social media with intention of causing physical, social, psychological or economic harm. It can involve an individual or a group who misuses their power over an individual or more than one person feeling helpless and unable to protect himself or themselves from the threatened harm.

In Bangladesh, 35% of students between 13 and 15 are reported to have been bullied one or more days in 30 days or involved in a physical fight at least once in 12 months in 2014. According to the report worldwide, half of students aged between 13 and 15 around 150 million have experienced peer-to-peer violence like physical fights or forms of bullying from their peers in and around school.

Education is the key to creating a civilized and peaceful societies, but children around the world undergo different forms of violence and harassment in and outside school.
