Examination of peer bullying and self-respect in secondary school students

A person who does not give a voice to those under his rule, relying on his power of tyranny, is defined as a despot or dictator. One of the concepts among the types of bullying is peer bullying, on which many studies have been carried out in recent years. Bullying is a situation where a strong person systematically harms a weaker or less powerful person through physical or verbal assault, harassment or threats. In peer bullying, the victim is the person who is exposed to the bullying behavior. Understanding the causes of human behavior and predicting future steps is the main goal of psychology in today's world. The self-concept, which is formed in the interaction of the individual with the environment, is an important tool in the interpretation, evaluation, structuring and regulation of the individual's environmental reactions. The self is the power within people that observes, evaluates, regulates and guides their behavior.
