Summary of thesis results: With the thesis topic "Investigating the phenomenon of bullying among secondary school students", we conducted research on 459 students from Tien Tien Primary School - Thanh Ha - Hai Duong, Tien Tien Secondary School - Thanh Ha - Hai Duong and Thanh Binh Semi-Public High School - Thanh Ha - Hai Duong. The results of the thesis have revealed some interesting issues as follows: - Firstly, the phenomenon of bullying among secondary school students is becoming an alarming problem for the education sector with 56.21% of students being bullied at different levels, from one form of bullying to all five forms of bullying: physical bullying, relationship bullying, value bullying, possession bullying, and media bullying. Of the five forms of bullying mentioned, students are most frequently subjected to physical bullying. Secondly, there are differences in the intensity and form of bullying depending on the student's rank and gender. Older students are less likely to be bullied than younger students: elementary school students are bullied more often than middle school students and more often than high school students. Male students are bullied more often than female students. High school students are bullied more often through media than middle school and elementary school students. Thirdly, bullied students exhibit various behaviors, including negative ones such as avoidance, seeking help, and revenge. Students tend to seek help more often. However, elementary school students tend to seek help more often, while high school students tend to seek revenge more often. Male students tend to retaliate more often than female students. - Fourth, there are many reasons why children are bullied, but the first three mentioned are objective causes: peer pressure, aggressive behavior, and inadequate parental guidance. A noteworthy point when investigating the causes of bullying is that most students say they don't know why they are bullied. This leads to the risk that bullied students will find it very difficult to cope with this phenomenon. - Fifth, the most common locations for bullying are the classroom and the schoolyard. - Sixth, regarding the bullies. Research on this issue shows that bullies are often older, taller, and have lower academic performance. - Finally, regarding the emotions of students when bullied. When bullied, the four most prominent emotions are anger, sadness, anxiety, and fear. It is noteworthy that students feel the most fear when they are alone and when they are out in public. This is perfectly understandable, as these are situations where they feel least safe. 11. Practical application: The topic has identified issues related to bullying among students, such as the level of bullying, forms of bullying, causes, emotions, victims, locations of bullying, and how students respond when bullied. From this, policies and solutions can be developed to minimize, eliminate, and prevent this phenomenon. 12. Further research directions: None. 13. Published works related to the thesis: None.
