Abstract

The act of bullying is tremendously experienced in school and continuously brings adverse effects to the psychological aspects of individuals that are toughly controllable by nature. To any degree, the feeling of being hurt physically, emotionally, and mentally gives redirection, pointing to others weaker than purposely displacement. The aggression is either more potent or similar, however, notably causing the other to feel as if being bullied. This study determines the types of bullying dominating the school, particularly in junior high school, and correlates them with the aggression displacement of the victim. The respondents were grade 7 and 8 students who responded to the survey through a researcher-made questionnaire that underwent testing and calculated through the Cronbach?s alpha yielding 0.71, granting its reliability. It is a quantitative type of research. The DepEd Order no. 55, s. 2013 stipulates the types of bullying composed of four parts: unwanted physical contact with the victim or bullied, victim psyche or emotional well-being, slanderous statement or accusations, and cyber-bullying. The findings show a relationship between bullying and aggression displacement of junior high school students, which stood on the idea that if the bully is experienced, a tendency of retaliation is similar and performed to powerless individuals.
