There is the most traumatizing and openly evidence form of conflict manifest in bullying which is physical violence. This may involve hitting, pushing, shoving, kicking, beating, bumping into the victim and several other violent modes. There is then the verbal conflict which though not hurting physically has psychotically repercussions and may be in the form of put-downs, use of abusive language, calling names, shouting at victim, use of unpleasant and suggestive sounds towards victim among other forms. There is the other form that is targeting the social stability of the victim which is relational alienation which comes in the form of spreading rumors about a victim, intentionally and maliciously alienating a victim from a social group, peer discrimination, branding of victims among other manifestations that can come with alienation. There is also the other form of conflict which is categorized as cyber bullying which is a common thing in the contemporary society bearing the ease of access and the possibility of anonymity that lies behind it.

This indicates that the school pupils know much more about the contemporary bullying than their teachers. The teachers often notice the overt violent or outright shown bullying without further knowledge of the covert ones. He further indicates that the bullies and the victims commonly come from families where there is either an authoritarian parenting style or a very passive one. Children from homes where the parents were authoritative however stand lower chances of getting involved in bullying habits. He further encourages teachers to manage class with an authoritative approach saying that in the absence of this, the culture of bullying is likely to develop. There should also be policy formulations within each school and adherence to the class codes of conduct in order to curb the vice that is bullying.

Cyber Bullying and Its Impact Over the past decade, attention has been drawn to cyber-bullying by the media and researchers. Research on cyber-bullying has covered the various behavior aspects; focusing mainly on demographic and personal factors of the involved individuals. Particularly, the research has been targeted at factors among adolescents; who account for a majority of cyber-bullying cases. Nonetheless, it is important that other populations are studied too -- even adults
The term “bully” generally illustrates a person who uses strength or dominate to harm or frightened those who are weaker. Bully has become a serious issue in Singapore lately. Many teenagers tend to perceive that bullying is fun and it’s just a form of prank they are playing on their classmates, batchmates or on their junior’s.

Racism Among Teenagers Towel-head, Spic, Polack, Chink, Terrorist, Nigger. These are words heard constantly amidst high school halls; the perfect environment, it seems, to harbor age-old ideas about cultures that do not match the majority's collective perspective.

Near Eastern Culture For my first intercultural experience, I decided to attend a yoga class. Although yoga has become increasingly popular amongst Westerners, it is still an ancient Eastern practice rather than something that can be characterized as part of mainstream American culture. It is a noncompetitive activity that is devoted to preparing the body for meditation rather than improving the body's physical appearance or to improve an athlete's performance. It
Spanking Perhaps no topic generates as much heated debate among parents and child development experts as corporal punishment. While defenders argue for the continued necessity of the practice, new research shows more clearly the benefits of sparing the rod and avoiding corporal punishment altogether. These studies cite numerous reasons against corporal punishment, from increasing aggression in children to the practice's moral repugnance. This paper, however, focuses on studies that show corporal punishment
