They tend to avoid the particular word “bullying” and instead use the term “aggression” in kids. Thus, when studying bullying in a sociological approach, no specific definition is used, unlike in the psychology approach. Sociologists look through this lens they call the sociological imagination.

The damage lies primarily in their personal safety and low self-esteem to feel that their existence is worth little. This article pertains to my question regarding what is bullying because reading many articles I did not find a precise definition for
Parents have a hard time realizing what their child is doing or they are the people that molded them to who they are now.
