There is also another case of bully that occurred in Bukit Beruntung, Rawang. It involves female form one students.

Every incident must have a cause among the causes of bullying cases starting from the failure of parents in educating their children. This is because the early education of children is very important. In addition, the relaxation of discipline at school or at home can also be given attention as a contributor to the occurrence of bullying symptoms at school.

Hence, we choose the bullying at school as our current issue that will be discussed throughly and the title of our current issue is “school bullying : when will it end?”. What is bullying? Bullying is when an individual or group with a greater physical or social power act aggressively towards the victim by emotion or physical means. There are many type of school bullying, for instance pyhsical bullying, verbal bullying, cyberbullying, sexual bullying and prejudicial bullying. Therefore, the act of bullying at school should be stopped so that student can have a memorable experience at school. However, what is the factors that leads to the school bullying?

PROBLEM ANALYSIS

 Bullying has become a major concern for parents and school administration all over the world because children that are victimized by bullying have to go through severe mental trauma and if they do not get appropriate help and intervention they are likely to suffer from extreme psychological problems that may affect their academic and lifelong performances. Therefore, it is imperative that adequate measures should be taken by the government, the school administration and the parents to counter bullying by duly intervening in such situations. The cause of bullying cases is mostly a misunderstanding between the victim and the bully. bullying can also be classified into 2 parts namely intentional bullying and unintentional bullying. 

Other than that, The cause of bullying cases that often occur among students is due to the harmony of a family.  This is said so because parents are role models who shape their child’s personality, lack of attention and love will put pressure on the child as there is no place to complain.  Thus, the desire to release stress will be channeled by bullying other students.  Therefore, parents need to play a role in preventing their children from bullying other students.  Parents should also educate their children in line with religious teachings to form a superior and excellent personality in their children. Moreover, it is also due to the influence of the mass media. nowadays the mass media shows a lot of negative culture and is against the norms of society
