Abstract

Bullying cases nowadays are increasingly occurring in all circles. Bullies feel that what they do is normal. Even though bullying can have a very bad impact on the victim of bullying. The factors that cause bullying also vary.

In this case, problems were found in groups of children where bullying often occurred among them when playing or studying.
