TITLE : UNTOLD STORIES OF THE BULLIES: THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE COIN
ABSTRACT
Bullying has been an issue worldwide and was considered as serious problem in schools. Number of literatures and studies had been conducted (Steven 2006; Hoover 2005; Gibson 2011 and Rafferty, 2011) but most of them focus on the victims. However, De Voe (2007) and Williams (2008) discovered the presence of bully/victim construct in bullying problem, recommended an investigation about this group.
Because of the recommendation, this phenomenological inquiry was conceptualized to discover the unheard stories of the bullies. As the participants revealed their experiences, seven major construct emerged within the three main categories in the experiences of the bullies, the reasons of the bullies in bullying their victims and their insights on anti-bullying program of the school: the home experiences of the bullies, the school experiences of the bullies, the reasons of bullying, the type of bullying is dependent on the target, the view of the participants on school bullying and anti-bullying program, the feeling of bullies as perpetrators and as a witness of bullying and the effect of bullying behaviour to the bullies themselves.
By fully understanding on the themes discussed, the school administrators who are tasked to design anti-bullying program in school will have better understanding on bullying behaviour, which will result to an improved approach in designing anti-bullying program in school.
