Abstract

The educational community of New York City is subject to multiple threats. One of the most obvious dangers that drives negative impact directly on the safety of students of all levels is bullying. Any act of violence that a person infringes on another whether intentionally and repeatedly is bullying. In recent years, New York City has witnessed hundreds of cases of bullying, where both the bullied and bullies are victims of this vicious circle of violence, whether physical, verbal or through social media. The different types of aggressive behavior are complex, and their effects are long-lasting in the lives of those affected. This research paper aims to analyze the causes and consequences of bullying, as well as the impact of its effects over the years. In addition, this project seeks to make some relevant recommendations to reduce bullying levels in local public schools.
