The Problem and It’s Background
I. Introduction
What is Bullying?
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a
real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated,
over time. Both person who are bullied and who bully others may have serious and lasting
behaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once. It includes
actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and
excluding someone from a group on purpose. Bullying is divided into four basic types of abuse –
emotional (sometimes called relational), verbal, physical, and cyber. Verbal bullying is saying or
writing means things. Verbal bullying includes: teasing name-calling, inappropriate sexual
involves hurting a person’s body or possessions. It includes: Hitting, kicking, pinching, spitting,
tripping, pushing, taking or breaking someone’s things making mean or rude hand gestures.
Bullying can occur during or after school hours. While most reported bullying happens in
the school building, a significant percentage also happens in places like on the playground or
the bus. It can also happen travelling to or from school, in the youth’s neighborhood, or on the

Internet. Every time and everywhere bullying happens, some of those people doing this have
their own group and frat. They’re seeking for revenge and wanting to hurt victims.
This research aims to find out if bullying has a significant effect to the academic

Review of the Literature
I. Literature Review
A. Local
In the Philippines, 2 out of 10 children per day experience were being made fun of, name
calling, and making the child do something he/she doesn’t want to do. Since the statistics were
quite alarming, this prompted the House of Representatives to approved a bill requiring
elementary and secondary schools to include and implement anti-bullying policies in their
students. To monitor its affectivity, the schools are obligated to submit and report incidents to
Students across the Philippines experience bullying and discrimination in school because
of their sexual orientation and gender identity. “Just Let Us be’: Discrimination against LGBT
Students in the Philippines,” documents the range of abuses against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
harassment, discriminatory policies and practices, and an absence of supportive resources that
undermine the right to education under international law and put LGBT youth at risk. (Bullit
Marquez, 2015)
The Anti-Bullying Act: Helping Schools Keep Your Child Safe Every person has the right
to be protected against violence and abuse, and your children are no exception. As parents, you
do all that you can to shelter and keep your children safe from harm. But it is only a matter of
time before these children grow, and you will no longer be able to keep a watchful eye on them
all day. Such is the case when they begin to go to school. It is for this reason that the Anti-
Parada National Highschool
S. De Guzman St., Parada, Valenzuela City
Bullying Act has been established by the Philippine Government. Among the biggest fear of
parents, and one of the reasons why many consider home- schooling, is that their children
might be bullied while within school premises. Sadly, such cases do occur, both in the
elementary and high school levels, and even in college. As of 2013, with the implementation of
the Anti-Bullying Act, schools have become better able to protect their students against acts of
In the Philippines, there had been few studies on bullying despite the obvious importance
of the subject. While there are a lot of things that can be learned from foreign researches, it
must be noted that the concept of bullying as it has been often studied in other countries is
practically a foreign social concept. It could be that the use and understanding of the word in
the country is largely consistent with the available literature. This, however, should not stop
anyone from studying bullying as conceptualized by different social groups in the country.
Honrejas (1999) investigated incidence of school bullying in 186 schools in the Philippines.
Her findings from these schools reported 2,096 cases of bullying. Forty percent occurred in the
second year level, 29 percent came from the first year level, and few cases came from different
grade levels in elementary and secondary schools with varying intensity. Additionally, she
documented on the forms of bullying mostly indulged by students. She reported that excessive
teasing, extortion (food, money and belongings), physical injuries, use of ball pen and pencils
to stab the victim is common in elementary level. Miguel-Baquilod (2004) of the Department
of Health Manila made a nationwide survey on secondary students’ health. Included in the
survey is violence among youth. It has been reported that of the students surveyed, half of them
were involved in physical fight, and second year students are significantly likely to get

involved and victimized than third year and fourth year students. One third of students were
bullied one or more times in a one-month period. About three in ten of the victims reported that
they were most often physically bullied. Boys were significantly more likely than girls to have
The Department of Education in the Philippines reported more than 1,700 cases of child
abuse or bullying in schools for the years of 2013 and 2014, although the DepEd lately said
that this number is decreasing, and that comes after they issued an order in 2012 known as
DepEd Child Protection Policy which states the policy and guidelines for the child protection
in schools against abuse, exploitation, violence, discrimination, bullying and other different
forms that might be a threat for the child. The House of Representatives in Philippine has
approved a bill that requires all the elementary and the secondary schools to adopt policies that
prevent bullying or any other kind of violence in the schools. This bill requires the schools to
include the anti-bullying policies in the school student’s and employee handbook, it should be
apparent on the wall of the schools, the classrooms and websites. The schools should then
submit to the DepEd after six months upon the effect of the law, and any incidents should be
reported immediately, and in case of absence of the policies in any school, there is a sanction
that falls on the school’s administrators. With bullying being referred to as an aggressive
behavior that is done repeatedly and might turn out to be an act of violence, that might be
verbal, physical or social, and usually the person who is responsible for these acts is doing so
because he/she

wants to show that he/she is more powerful, they want to grab the attention of the people
around them, and it does not always have to be out of revenge or hatred, sometimes they come
out of the person because they are just bored. (Safeschool, 2007)
B. Foreign
According to Yoneyama& Rigby (2006) bullying behavior has an effect on the student's
perception of the school environment. Research has shown that lesser quantities of bullying
behavior are found in schools with a positive school environment. "It was hypothesized that
judgments of classroom climate would be less positive among students who were identified as
(a) bullies, (b) victims, and (c) bully-victims than others who are not involved in bully/victim
problems”. There was three different questionnaires developed using the following measures:
(a) the school climate scale, (b) the victimization scale and (c) the bullying scale. The
questionnaires were given to 531 students attending grades eight and nine in Australia. The
subjects were taken from five different schools. Average age of the subjects was 14.1 years, for
males and 13.9 years for females. In this study, students were only allowed to participate with
In a quantitative research study, Voss and Mulligan (2000) worked together to find out if short
pupils are at risk for being bullied. There were 92 short normal teenagers who were under the
3rd percentile height at school admission. Throughout the bullying survey the study confirmed
there was no major gender or social class distinction between the groups. The majority of the
ages were around 14 years old and their height was around four to five feet. More short
students informed they were bullied at some time inmiddle school more so than the controls.

The study has revealed that shorter boys are more than twice as likely to be victims of
bullying then as for the control boys. Bullying also saddens shorter boys much more than
control boys. In many of the cases bullying had stopped, but significantly more short pupils
than controls, regardless to sex, reported current bullying (Voss & Mulligan, 2000, Subjects,
Entenman, Murnen, & Hendricks (2005-2006) investigate how bullies and bullying
actions are showed in K-3 children's books published from 1995-2003 and how teachers can
utilize these books to inform students about bullying in their classrooms. In the study, 25 books
about bullying were selected based upon the criteria set by Jalongo (1983). A subject study was
performed on each book to identify the behavior of the bully. The behaviors were broken into
different categories: (a) physical intimidation, (b) name-calling, (c) stealing, (d) verbal
intimidation, and (e) teasing. The reviewed children's' books showed the roles of the bully, the
bystander and the importance of adult involvement when bullying takes place. Entenman,
suggests the teacher can take part in a big job by stopping the actions of the bully early on
before the behavior has the opportunity to become part of the child's everyday life. It is
significant to communicate that the victim in each of the stories used was capable of rising
above the problem and get back their self-confidence by the end of the book, with the help of
Salmon and James (1998) used a quantitative methodology to examine the psychological
health issues of students being bullied. This study assessed: (a) indication of anxiety and
5|Page

depression in bullied students, (b) self esteem in bullied students and students that were not
bullied; and (c) self esteem for both bullies and those who were not bullies. Four
questionnaires were anonymously completed by the 904 participants aged 12-17. Two
secondary schools were used for this study. The first school is in a low income area. The
second school is in a high social class area. Salmon and James (1998) found that boys aged 12-
13 with high anxiety and lying scores were most likely to be bullied at the low income school.
Boys aged 15-16 with low anxiety and lying scores and high depression scores were most
likely to be bullies at the high social class school. Girls ages 13-14 in the advantaged school
with low anxiety and lying scores were least likely to be bullied. Girls aged 12-13 with high
anxiety and lying scores and low depression were least likely to be bullies (Salmon and James,
Bishop JH, Bishop M, Bishop M, Gelbwasser, Green, Peterson, Rubinstaj, and Zuckerman
(2004) explore the relationship between study behavior and academic engagement of
individual students, the norms and attitudes of close friends, and the peer culture of school.
The study is particularly interested in how the academic orientation of students and their close
friends invites or protects them from harassment (Bishop et al., 2004, p.236). A qualitative
research design was used. The participants were from eight New York State suburban high
schools. Surveys were done by 35,000 students at 134 schools and information was examined.
Interviews and respondents were matched on gender (Bishop et al., 2004). The study found
harassment and bullying are directed toward students who are rejected by their classmates.

Surveys conducted in 1998 and 1999 found that 13.1% of boys and 6.7% of girls were teased,
insulted, or made fun of almost everyday. Another 19.5% of boys and 13.3% of girls were
insulted to their face about once a week (Bishop et al., 2004, p. 237).

Anti-Bullying Act: Helping Schools Keep Your Child Safe
Under this Anti Bullying Act, it states that bullying occurs when one or more of the
following occur as a result of verbal, physical or even electronic or online actions by one or a
group of students:
• A student fears possible physical or emotional harm, or damage to his or her property
• Disruption of the learning process, and the security and order within the school grounds
It has been made clear that bullying, in this case, goes beyond physical harm such as
punching, pushing or kicking. It also includes verbal abuse that causes emotional or
psychological turmoil to a child, or wrongly aims to taint another student’s reputation. Cyber-
bulling is also addressed by the Anti-Bullying Act, and rightly so, as most students these days

school grounds and within its perimeter. It also takes effect at school functions or programs,
whether these are within the school grounds or at an outside venue. Even school buses and
carpools are covered by the Anti-Bullying Act, given that they are owned, leased by or
accredited by the school. Finally, students are also protected from acts of bullying that result
Other malicious acts may also be considered as protected by the Anti Bullying Act if they
cause a student to feel that he or she is unsafe in school, and in effect, affecting the students’
learning process. As for students who report cases of bullying, or are witnesses to acts of
bullying, they are also protected by this act, and any form of violence or abuse directed
The responsibility of the school goes beyond that of a learning facility. It must also be able to
provide a safe venue for students to learn, develop and thrive. With the Anti Bullying Act in
place, parents and students alike can now feel that the school is a place where they can be
protected as well. Students, faculty, and school staff are also enjoined to do their part by
reporting any acts of bullying that they witness or hear about, whether physical or emotional.

Conclusion/ Recommendation
I. Conclusion
1. This research was conducted for the purpose of determining the effects of bullying to
the Grade 10 students’ school performances. Based on the interpretation of the data,
we can conclude that majority of the grade 10 students’ school performances has been
significantly affected by bullying therefore the null hypothesis has been rejected.
2. According to the interpreted data from the actual interview, 45% has been bullied
through verbal, which is the highest in the data, therefore we can conclude from this,
that the most experienced type of bullying is verbal bullying. It happened through
3. Furthermore, bullying has positive and negative effects on the school performances of
the students. Since they were taunted, and their skills were questioned it makes them
to work hard to develop themselves even more, that was the positive effect. While the
negative effects, they felt that they are worthless, useless, that afterwards made them
study habits.
