THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
As the new generation continues to grow, evolve and explore the complex era of life, each individual has different identities, social adherence, and attitude. In a simple school of our future successors in the next generation, we are all familiar of that one law that s still ask no answer and explanation even if it is already implemented. Bullying, it is an act which a person or an individual disturbs or bullies the other person, and includes stalking and causes irritation and fear of being bullied by that person. How does this affect the children to the different variables including social, psychological, and emotional state? What are the factors affecting the children when it comes to the set up? Bullying is a behavior that can only be easily recognize when individuals experience it. Bullying can happen to anyone at any age and anywhere whether at the school, home, or even in workplace. So far, it is difficult to define bullying since it relates to both a wide range behavior that may constitute bullying, in the characteristics of bullying behavior. However, Roland defined bullying as long standing violence, physical or psychological, perpetrated by an individual or group directed against an individual who cannot defend himself or herself. In line with this Olweus also defines bullying, but more carefully and restrictive, as repeated, negative actions overtime, including hitting, kicking, threatening, locking inside the room, saying nasty and unpleasant things and teasing. The phenomenon of bullying schools has increasingly captured universal attention among the researchers, the media, school authorities and parents who are concerned about students well being and safety (moon, et al, p.1) bullying in the schools is also a worldwide problem that can have negative consequences for the general school climate and for the rights of students to learn in a safe environment without fear. It is a widespread and perhaps the most under reported safety problems in the schools. Until recently, most bullying researchers have been merely concerned with school bullying although other contexts of bullying have also been widely research. The reason for this is the during school age bullying becomes a common and daily basis activity among students. In relation to this, Samson (2002) argues that the most frequent bullying happens during elementary school and is likely less during middle school and loss so, but still frequently, in the high school. Many studies have been carried out related to the phenomenon of bullying in school. Olweus, the first Scandinavian researcher concerned with the issue, conducting his systemic study in Norweigian and Swedish schools and found that many students experienced school bullying. The findings showed that approximately 7% of Scandinavians students in the sample engaged in school bullying, and between 5% and 15% of students in various grades reported being bullied (Moon, et, Al 2008, p.3) or approximately one in seven pupils are involved in bullying with the degree of regularity-either as bully or victims (Olweus 1993, p.13.). Honrejas (1999) investigated incidence of school of bullying in 186 schools in the Philippines. Her findings from this 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 indulge by student. She reported that excessive teasing, extortion (food, money, belongings, physical injuries, use of ballpens and pencils to stab the victim is common in elementary level. Based from the experiences of the individual mentioned, the researcher conceptualized this study about bullying among Children Ages 7 and 12 years old of Selected Elementary School in Tarlac City.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Related Literatures
Bullying is defined in different ways, but researchers agree that is form of aggression, and for bullying to occur, three characteristics must be present; 1. The behavior is meant to inflic t physical and or psychological harm, 2. The behavior must be repeated overtime and 3. There is an imbalance of power among the people involved (Banks, 1997; Deitrich, 1997; Espelage & Swearer, 2003; Nansel et al., 2001). Bullying occurs physical form through hitting and kicking, in verbal form. IN the continuum of participants in a bullying situation, a person maybe a bully, a victim, a bystander, a bully- victim. Bullying behaviors are influenced by many factors including demographic variables, family, peers, and aggression. In 2000, Espelage et al. tested sex, grade, rape, price or lunch, and poverty status as demographic variables. The finding of Seals and Young in 2003 concurs with the results of both Espelage et at. Family relations also affect bullying. According to the article by Cohn and Canter in 2003, two family influences on bullying are the amount of adults supervision a child receives and seeing family members exhibiting bullying behaviors. In the study 2000 study by Espelage et al over seventeen percent of the middle school students reported at least sometimes being physically punish when breaking a rule at home. In their article Research on school bullying and victimization: What have we learned and where do we go from here? In addition, it was found that many students who bully their peers in school also bully their siblings at home. (Espelage & Swearer, 2003). Since bullying is a subset of aggression, different types on aggression can lead to different manifestation of bullying behaviors. Espelage and Swearer in 2003 list different types of aggression, including, proactive versus reactive aggression, direct versus indirect aggression, overt versus covert aggression, and relational aggression. In addition, the authors found that more than seventy of girls in their study were victims of relational bullying, which included both verbal and psychological behaviors. Depression is another major emotional factor related to bullying. In the same articles, it was noted that depression levels are higher in victims as well as in bullies compared to non-bullies or non-victims (Espelage & Swearer, 2003). School environment affects the prevalence of bullying as well. When school faculty members ignore bullying behaviors, students are reinforced for the behavior (Cohn and Canter). School climate is related to bullying, while others such as poorer relationships with classmates and loneliness are related to being bullied and coincident bullying being bullied. (http://clinicalcounselor.blogspot.com/2011/10/bullying-statistics-2010.html
The new school year had barely begun when stories of bullying started to circulate once again. TV host Dr. Phil McGraw, for example, hosted a televised discussion on the problem of bullying in public schools. While bullying behavior has existed in various forms throughout human history, earlier societies and religious authorities developed means by which to discourage such behavior. The published works of French political theorist Alexis de Tocqueville and Dr. Helmut Shoeck provide insight into envy and bullying. In his treatise entitled Theory of Envy, Shoeck advised that envy is at its most intense when people are almost equal. In The Old Regime and the French Revolution, Tocqueville theorized that the French revolutionaries who rebelled against the nobles were almost equal to the nobles. Much of the female bullying that occurs in schools almost consistently involves a girl or a group of girls attacking a peer who has more in common with her attackers than she has differences. Competition for the attention of boys or significant adults is often at the root of much school-age female bullying.
Female bullying is by no means exclusive to people. It often happens in the wolf compounds at large zoos where the alpha female regularly bullies subordinate females. In the wild, the alpha female wolf will often bully subordinate females that have reached sexual maturity to the point where they leave the pack. Indefining envy, Shoeck advised that an envious person does not want the attributes or possessions of another person; they want to ensure that other people do not enjoy their possessions or get to use their abilities or attributes.
In a wolf pack, the alpha female ensures through bullying subordinate females that potential competitors that are practically her equals will not use their reproductive capacity to attract the attention of the alpha male. Research into teenage female peer bullying suggests that the bullying females are often the popular girls who are well liked by most of their peers of both genders and by significant adults. Interviews with teachers indicate that female bullying is rampant in mixed gender schools and mixed gender classrooms, with less bullying of peers occurring in single gender schools and classrooms.
The state is no innocent bystander in the phenomenon of peer bullying involving school-aged children. With rare exceptions, school attendance laws compel children to attend schools where they are likely to be bullied. Quite often, students learn ways by which to bully teachers to the point where 1 out of 3 teachers would likely leave the profession after five years.
State involvement in the food and drug industries may also be contributing to the epidemic of bullying among school-aged children. State law in many jurisdictions often requires compulsory vaccination and immunization of children. The web page of Dr Joseph Mercola and several of his contemporaries regularly reports on problems involving various vaccines and other drugs. State law in many jurisdictions allows farmers to inject a host of growth hormones and antibiotics into farm animals that are slaughtered for sale in the supermarkets. Often the same politically well-connected pharmaceutical companies provide the childhood vaccines, the growth hormones and the antibiotics. Some 70 years ago, girls entered puberty around age 15, at about the time when most of them had completed their schooling. At that point, there were no compulsory vaccinations and immunizations, while most of the meat sold at butcher shops was free from growth hormones and antibiotics. Also at that time, peer bullying of pubescent girls was a rare occurrence in schools. Recently, though, there have been news reports suggesting that increasing numbers of girls are entering puberty as young as 9 and 10-years of age. It should come as no surprise that girls who become sexually mature at that age may actually engage in the bullying behavior of the alpha female wolf.
The combination of state control of medicine, drugs, food and education is quite literally an act of organized bullying that may actually be contributing to the growing epidemic of bullying that is sweeping schools in many jurisdictions and many nations. Interviews with several teachers of pre-teen students in one region revealed that up to 75% of their students were products of single parent homes, often with half-brothers and half-sisters in the same classroom or same grade level. Teachers admitted to spending most of their classroom time dealing with behavioral problems instead of teaching children the essential skills of reading, writing and math.
Research undertaken internationally into youth gangs revealed that for most gang members, fathers were either physically or emotionally absent in their lives. The gang leader and fellow gang members often provide emotionally what a father and/or older male relatives would otherwise provide in a traditional or extended family. Gang members who were interviewed individually after participating in a gang activity such as a group assault or a gang rape admitted to doing so to gain acceptance, approval, validation, acknowledgement and recognition from their peers. Several gang members even admitted to not enjoying such acts and even to feeling degraded and dirty for what they had done.
Interviews with teenaged boys revealed one of the motivations behind male school- aged bullying. The bully achieved recognition and validation in the eyes of his peers and other onlookers. During an earlier era, nobody else joined into schoolyard fights between two protagonists. In the modern era, friends of the bully join in the attack against another child, for the same reasons as participants in a gang rape. They do it to look good in front of their peers. Research indicates that young boys who attend single gender classrooms that are taught by male teachers for several successive years have a very low propensity for gang membership and low incidence of engaging in bullying behavior. At one time many years ago, all-boys schools private schools with all-male staffexisted in many countries including parts of Canada. Then came the affirmative action laws that encouraged feminist women teachers to challenge the hiring practices of the all-boys private schools. Never mind that the parents who paid tuition fees wanted their sons to be taught by male teachers. The state intruded in what should have been a private matter between a private provider of services and its paying customers and ignored the fact that the boys who attended these schools had mothers capable of providing a feminine perspective in their lives.
For boys who are compelled to attend government schools where the male teacher is a vanishing breed, the only remaining institution capable of providing male leadership happens to be organized gangs. Police departments are becoming alarmed that gang membership is increasing in many large cities. State welfare policies that undermined the traditional family structure has increased the population of fatherless boys who will forcibly be vaccinated and immunized with drugs of questionable efficacy after which many will be prescribed anti-depressants that may come from the same companies that provide the vaccines, the animal growth hormones and the antibiotics. Many of them are potential gang members in waiting.
Much of their diet will include foods laced with growth hormones and antibiotics and they will be forced to attend state schools. Retired award winning teacher John Taylor Gatto authored a book entitled Dumbing Down in which he detailed the deficiencies of state schools, state schooling and the state curricula that ultimately undermines students' abilities to think critically. Given the nature of state involvement in the numerous aspects of children's lives, it should come as no surprise that there is an epidemic of bullying underway in state schools. http://www.quebecoislibre.org/10/101115-8.html
Related Studies
According to the Philippines, there had been few studies on bullying despite the obvious importance of the subject. While there a lot of things that can be learned from the foreign researchers, 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 world 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. 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. One third of students were bullied one or more times in one-month period. Boys were significantly more likely than girls to have experienced such by Carvalho Filho Et Al ( 2004 ). The effects of different social environments, degrees of friendship, and individual sociability on students usage of different types of relationsl aggression were explored. Relational aggression and levels of sociability were found to have marginally significant effect, the result showed that individuals with low sociability reported that they are as likely to spread rumors, and Likely to use backstabbing compared to individuals with high sociability. Honrejas study also reported family discord as the major factor that contributed to bullying. Misconception on the true nature of bullying was also found. It was seen as a natural part of growing up among children. Duba ( 1985:349 ), author of guidance in Philippine Setting, presented a closely opposite meaning of bullying behavior; he uses the term mental hygiene, which refers to the unwholesomeness or healthfulness of the human mind. Students with good mental health will bring happiness to themselves. Furthermore, children are considered maladjusted are characterized by failure to achieve their potentialities and meet socially accepted standards. They would show aggressive behavior, rudeness, stealing, and other similar acts of anti-social behavior. An interesting study by Lopez (1981 as cited in Puyat 1999) which is related to the concept of bullying in his study on aggression. He identified Filipino terms like paladabog, palaaway and palatsismis, which refers to aggressive behaviors used by a person to attack another person. (http://clinicalcounselor.blogspot.com/2011/10/bullying- statistics-2010.html
Synthesis
The study of Duba looked into the influences of bullying to mental health; the present study looked into effects of bullying in the children. Espelage and Swearer found that many students who bully their peers in school also bully their sibling at home, the present of study also found this scene. Also added by Espelage, over 17% of the middle school students reported at least sometimes being physically punished when breaking a rule at home, in present study parents are not allowed to physically punish their children instead talking to them in a nice way. Cohn and Carter are stated that school environment affects the prevalence of bullying as well. When school faculty members ignore bullying behaviors, students are reinforce for the behavior. Similarly, less bullying occurs in school where respect for others is taught and value and where high standards are set for interpersonal behavior. Similarly, less bullying occurs in school where respect for others is taught and valued and where high standards are set for interpersonal behavior. Dr. Dan Olweus discussed about bullying schools and give general characteristic of both victims and bullies. Victims, generally and physical weaker peers may have in body anxiety are often quiet, shy, withdrawn, anxious, unassertive in peer groups, and closer to others than peers. The present study towards without any school children, their demographic profile form of bullying experience by the children and how they affect their social life, emotional status, physical health, academic performance and behavioral state.
Theoretical Framework
This study will use the Four Conservation Principles of Myra Estrin Levine as a basis for theoretical framework. The care, or central concept, of Levines theory is conservation (Levine, 1989). When a person is in a state of conservation, it means that individual adaptive responses conform change productive, and when the lease expenditure of effort, while preserving optimal function and identity. Conservation is achieved through successful activation of adaptive pathways and behaviors that are appropriate for the wide range of responses required by functioning human beings. Myra Levine describes the Four Conservation Principles. These principles focus on conserving an individuals wholeness. She advocate that nursing is a human interaction and proposed four conservation principles of nursing which are concerned with the unity and integrity of individuals. Her framework includes: energy, structural integrity, and social integrity. Firstly, conservation of energy refers to balancing energy input and output to avoid excessive fatigue. Second is the conservation of structural integrity that refers to maintaining or restoring the structure of body preventing integrity that recognizes the individual as one who strives for recognition, respect, self- awareness, selfhood, and self-determination. And lastly, the conversation of social integrity wherein an individual recognize as someone who resides within a family, a community, a religious group, an ethnic group, a political system and a nation. Every individual has a unique rang of adaptive responses. Bullying in school is very rampant that school children should develop their own adaptation strategy to survive the challenge. For the school children, their responses will be by age, gender, grade level, and class standing and by the type of bullying experienced. While the responses may be the same, the timing and manifestation of response will be unique for each child depending on their way of perceiving the situation. With the conversation of energy, school children may practice habits of attaining proper sleep and rest, consuming nutritious foods, and doing exercises. Practicing the said habits may give balance on the energy level of the student wherein they will be able to response productively on the bullying situation. The home where these children belong should be aware of its importance. The conservation of structural integrity may pertain to activities or tasks that will aid in the students physical healing by helping and assisting the school children to stay active and promoting good personal care. Conservation of personal integrity may help students maintain uniqueness and individuality by giving them the choice in participating to school activities and be part of the schools organization. In this way, their self-esteem and self-worth can be developed which can be the students tool against bullying. The conservation of social integrity by assisting the students in maintaining social and community ties that will increase their support system and will also help the students sense of self worth. This can be addressed by making the teachers available as much as possible wherever the students need them. There is no single path that leads a child to bullying others or to being bullied, however poor social adjustment is a common element. A number of risk factors have been identified which generally fall into the categories of individuals differences, family and school.
Conceptual Framework
Conceptual framework in this study will be guided by the General System Theory, which was developed by biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy in 1936, in utilizing the concepts of the study into a focus discipline and productive output. He believes that over time, what was discovered would come to applicable to life in general. The function in any system is to convert or process energy, information, or materials into a product or outcome for use within the systera, or outside of the system (the environment) or both. Indeed, if a system is to survive, it must save some of the outcome or product to maintain the system. The input-process-output (IPO) will be used to discuss the study. As an input in the paradigm, the demographic profile plays an important role in determining who among the students are being bullied and who bully most. Demographic profile will be enumerated in terms of age, gender, grade level and class standing. The input will also include the identification of the different types of bullying that exist within the school area alongside with the extent of bullying experience by each child. In this way, determining the relationship in each variable will help the researchers to give more focus on which group of school children will gain the necessary help. Levines theory will be used as a framework on the creation of proposed program against bullying. The process that will be used in obtaining the results of the study will show the step procedures of research from formulation, data gathering and validation of questionnaires to interpretation and analysis of data and statistical treatment. The output of the study will emerge as the proposed bullying preventive program.

METHODS OF THE STUDY AND SOURCES OF DATA
This chapter presents the research method, source of data, data gathering instruments that use in the investigation.
Research Design
The researchers used the descriptive analytic method of research for this is the most appropriate means of evaluating the effect of bullying among children and its complications to behavior.
According to Calderon (1993) descriptive analytical method of research as certain to prevailing condition affecting a group of hence, this study calls for this method. It is a study component to serve as a direction is searching a goal. He appointed out that the descriptive method tells what is, that which leads to a specific information about education, another situation. He further describe it as a fact finding with adequate interpretation usually beyond fact finding.
The Respondents
The respondents of this study are 300 selected parents of three hundred children who were experienced being bullied and were chosen through simple random sampling. Sampling is the method by which a researcher chooses a group of respondents. This study conducted at one of the community in Tarlac City, specifically in Brgy. Maligaya at Maligaya Elementary School.
Instrument used in the Study
The materials and instruments to be use in gathering data are questionnaire, and techniques.
Questionnaire. The questionnaire is the main instrument used in the gathering data. It was employed primarily to come up with the perception of the respondents concerning the subject matter GOOD (2009). A questionnaire is a list of planned, written question related to particular topic, with space provided for indicating response to each question, intended for submission for number of persons for reply, commonly used in normative survey studies and in the measurement of attitude and opinions. Interview. The interview technique will also be used to compliment the gathering data for the study. Interviews provide information in which they become confidential that may not ordinarily given in writing. The interview according to VOCKEL (2000). Is a technique in which the researchers stimulate the respondents to give needed information in the study.
Procedure in Gathering Data
The researches prepared the instruments used through readings of the questionnaire checklist of the others studies just to obtain some ideas. Finally if the researches able to do and it was presented to their professor.
After the adviser had corrected and approve the questionnaire the researches will Xerox them into 300 copies together with the letter asking permission from the respondents to the part of the study and in the distribution of the questionnaire in the respondents.
Statistical Treatment
The responses of the respondents to the questionnaire checklist with carefully tallied, tabulated and organized including those derived from interviews, observation and documentary analysis. The data presented, analyzed and interpreted with the use of weighted mean, frequency count, percentage and ranking system.
The presentation, analysis and presentation of data will be based on the weighted mean as show by the scale ranges as follows (Calderon, 1993).
For percentage computation is: this will be used to describe the profile of the correspondents, also, this will be used to identify the forms of bullying.

August 14, 2014 the researchers had their duty in community sta. Maria, tarlac. With the clinical instructor maam Teresa Reyes. First we had our courtesy call to the barangay chairman had gave our permission letter to conduct our interview for our study. In the morning we had our home visit in our respective patients house when the lunch break is over, we conduct our interview with the students of sta. Maria high school. First i asked a student if she knows what is bullying. She answered it is act of physical verbal or emotional abuse of an individual to the other person. I asked another student, if she already experienced being bullied, she answered yes. In school, her classmate is teasing her saying foul words against her. I asked another students if how does this affect in her studies, behavior or attitude change?, she answered yes, in a way shes not going out in the classroom, not having a lot of friends because of low self esteem. Before she was lively but when she was bullied, she is quiet and immediately goes home after class. Each student agrees the coping with this experience is has to our parents, overcoming fears, having self-confidence and faith to God.
Last Thursday, September 4, 2014, we conducted a home visit as part of our community service in St. Maria, Tarlac. After the home visit, during our lunch break I saw a student from St. Maria High School. I introduced myself first and then I told her that this interview is for our research subject. I asked the student what was her opinion about bullying and then she said Yun po yung nagaaway at palaging napagtritripan. After she said that I asked her to follow up question, do you have experienced bullied? She said opo nung elementary po aku. What type of bullying do you even experienced, she said palagi po akung nilloloko ng kalaro ko dun sa amin. How does bullying affect you? natatakot na po akong lumabas at makipaglaro, tapos pag inuutusan po ako ng mama ko titignan ko muna iyung kalaro ko, kunh nandun siyan o wala, kung wala po tsaka lang ako pupunta. What are your strategies to cope up this king of experience?. She said sinusumbong ko po siya kay mama ko tapos pigalitan po siya kaya hndi na naulit. And then I asked the last question, what are the lesson do you learn from this experienced? wala po then she smile, natuto po akong magpakumbaba at intindihan siya kahit na inaasar niya ako.
