(36~40) In many high schools, bullying is often discussed as a problem caused by a few aggressive students. However, psychologists increasingly argue that bullying is not simply an individual act of cruelty but a social phenomenon shaped by peer pressure, institutional culture, and silent observation. In other words, bullying survives not only because of bullies, but also because of bystanders who choose not to intervene. A recent incident in a high school revealed how complicated the issue can be. A sophomore student named Ethan became the target of online ridicule after a video of him giving an awkward classroom presentation was uploaded to social media. Within hours, hundreds of students had viewed the clip, and many reposted it with sarcastic comments. Although only a small number of students directly mocked Ethan, the widespread circulation of the video intensified his humiliation. Several students later admitted that they had shared the video not because they disliked Ethan, but because they feared social exclusion if they did not respond. Teachers and administrators attempted to respond quickly by removing the video and organizing anti-bullying workshops. Yet some students criticized the school’s response as superficial, arguing that assemblies and slogans rarely address the deeper anxieties that shape teenage behavior. In highly competitive academic environments, students often seek social dominance as a way to secure identity and status. Consequently, bullying may become a distorted method of gaining recognition within peer groups. Experts emphasize that preventing bullying requires more than punishment. Schools must cultivate an atmosphere in which empathy is valued more highly than popularity and where students feel safe defending one another. Without such cultural change, anti-bullying policies may remain symbolic rather than transformative.
